scripts/make_fit: Support an initial ramdisk
FIT (Flat Image Tree) allows a ramdisk to be included in each
configuration. Add support for this to the script.

This feature is not available via 'make image.fit' since the ramdisk
likely needs to be built separately anyway, e.g. using modules from
the kernel build. Future work may provide support for doing that.

Note that the uncompressed size is not correct when a ramdisk is used,
since it is too expensive to decompress the ramdisk.

"""Build a FIT containing a lot of devicetree files
Usage:
make_fit.py -A arm64 -n 'Linux-6.6' -O linux
-o arch/arm64/boot/image.fit -k /tmp/kern/arch/arm64/boot/image.itk
-r /boot/initrd.img-6.14.0-27-generic @arch/arm64/boot/dts/dtbs-list
-E -c gzip
Creates a FIT containing the supplied kernel, an optional ramdisk, and a set of
devicetree files, either specified individually or listed in a file (with an
'@' prefix).
Use -r to specify an existing ramdisk/initrd file.
Use -E to generate an external FIT (where the data is placed after the
FIT data structure). This allows parsing of the data without loading
the entire FIT.
Use -c to compress the data, using bzip2, gzip, lz4, lzma, lzo and
zstd algorithms.
Use -D to decompose "composite" DTBs into their base components and
deduplicate the resulting base DTBs and DTB overlays. This requires the
DTBs to be sourced from the kernel build directory, as the implementation
looks at the .cmd files produced by the kernel build.
The resulting FIT can be booted by bootloaders which support FIT, such
as U-Boot, Linuxboot, Tianocore, etc.
