binman: Add support for a collection of entries
The vblock entry type includes code to collect the data from a number of other entries (not necessarily subentries) and concatenating it. This is a useful feature for other entry types. Make it a base class, so that vblock can use it, along with other entry types. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
