binman: rework dropping absent entries from packaged image
When blobs are absent and are marked as optional, they can be safely
dropped from the binman tree. Use the drop_absent function for that.
Rename drop_absent to drop_absent_optional as we do not want to drop any
entries that are absent; they should be reported by binman as errors
when they are missing.
We also reorder the processing of the image the following:
- We call the CheckForProblems function before the image is built.
- We drop entries after we checked for problems with the image.
This is okay because CheckForProblems does not look at the file we have
written but rather queries the data structure (image) built with binman.
This also allows us to get all error and warning messages that we want
to report while avoiding putting missing optional entries in the final
image.
As only the blobs are dropped, the sections still remain in the
assembled image. Thus add them to the expected test case checks where
necessary.
In addition, a rework of testPackTeeOsOptional test case is necessary.
The test did not really do what it was supposed to. The description said
that optional binary is tested, but the binary is not marked as
optional. Further, the tee.elf file, when included in the image
properly, also shows up in the image data. This must be added as well.
As there is no global variable for the elf data, set the pathname to the
elf file that was created when setting up the test suite.
For the test case get the filename and read the contents, comparing them
to the contents of the created binman image.
