fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to
the fip_create program. It serves as a better base to build on more
features in the future.
fiptool supports various subcommands. Below are the currently
supported subcommands:
1) info - List the images contained in a FIP file.
2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images.
3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images.
4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file.
5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file. This is a new command that
was not present in fip_create.
To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create".
To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update".
To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with
"fiptool info".
A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of
fip_create is provided. Existing scripts might or might not work with
the compatibility script. Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to
fiptool.

In some build environments executable programs have a specific file
extension. The value of BIN_EXT is appended to the relevant tool file
names to allow for this.
The value of BIN_EXT is set, where appropriate, by the build environment
specific make helper (to .exe for Windows build environments).
.gitignore is updated to hide the new (.exe) files.

Some build environments do not support symbolic links. This patch
removes the symlinks previously used to build fip_create and instead
copies the relevant header files.
The original motivation for using symlinks was to avoid Trusted Firmware
library headers conflicting with headers in the compiler standard
include path. Copying the header files instead has the same effect.
Like other build artefacts, the copied files are listed in .gitignore.
The distclean targets have also been updated to remove the copies.

This patch reworks the certificate generation tool to follow a data
driven approach. The user may specify at build time the certificates,
keys and extensions defined in the CoT, register them using the
appropiate macros and the tool will take care of creating the
certificates corresponding to the CoT specified.

This patch adds a tool that generates all the necessary elements
to establish the chain of trust (CoT) between the images.
The tool reads the binary images and signing keys and outputs the
corresponding certificates that will be used by the target at run
time to verify the authenticity of the images.
Note: the platform port must provide the file platform_oid.h. This
file will define the OIDs of the x509 extensions that will be added
to the certificates in order to establish the CoT.
