    util/ipqheader: Add utility to create uber-SBL for IPQ8064
    
    With the Storm image layout reworked, the very first blob read out of
    NOR SPI flash by the IPQ8064 maskrom is supposed to be a concatenation
    of three binaries: one to run on RPM, another one to run on AP, and
    the third one - the actual coreboot bootblock.
    
    This layout allows to greatly reduce the size and complexity of the
    two first blobs, as they do not need to include the SPI driver.
    
    The first binary in the input file list starts with the combined
    header, describing the rest of the blob. This utility copies the first
    input file into output, updating the combined header with the total
    size of the concatenated binaries.
    
    The second and third binaries in the combined image are required to be
    aligned at 256 byte offsets in the file as counted from the end of
    the combined header. The new utility allows to concatenate two or
    three files, always expecting the first file to be prepended by the
    combined header.
    
    For further reference below is the utility's help message:
    
      mbncat.py: [-v] [-h] [-o Output MBN] sbl1 sbl2 [bootblock]
    
      Concatenates up to three mbn files: two SBLs and a coreboot bootblock
        -h This message
        -v verbose
        -o Output file name, (default: sbl-ro.mbn)
    
    BRANCH=none
    BUG=chrome-os-partner:34161
    TEST=run the new utility and compare the result with the output of
         the vendor provided tool. The output files are exactly the same.
