binman: Allow text directly in the node

At present text entries use an indirect method to specify the text to use,
with a label pointing to the text itself.

Allow the text to be directly written into the node. This is more
convenient in cases where the text is constant.

 The text is not itself nul-terminated. This can be achieved, if required,
 by setting the size of the entry to something larger than the text.
