[0/4] Generate capsules from config files

Add support for generating capsules through a config file. Multiple
capsules can be generated through a single invocation of the
mkeficapsule tool, where the capsule parameters are fetched from the
config file.

The format of the config file pretty similar to the one used by the
capsule generation tool in EDKII.

The functionality is enabled on the sandbox variant and the EFI
capsule update test is now configured to generate the capsules through
a config file. The sandbox_flattree variant generates capsules through
binman, thus covering both the paths.

Hello Sughosh,

We are planning to use these changes in the Corstone-1000 platform.
Do you have a timeline when these are going to get merged?

Thanks,
Bence

I will prioritize this task since you want to use these changes. I
need to send some changes which Simon has asked for. Once those
changes go through, these patches also should be merged. Will work on
this task. Thanks for letting me know.
