Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli 780e931eed util/blobtool: rename to bincfg
The name blobtool is confusing as 'blob' is also used to
describe nonfree software in binary form.

Since this utility deals with binary configurations it
makes more sense to call it bincfg.

Damien Zammit 0685322f4a util/blobtool: Add new tool for compiling/decompiling data blobs
Given a specification of bitfields defined e.g. as follows:

	specfile:
		{
			"field1" : 8,
			"field2" : 4,
			"field3" : 4
		}
and a set of values for setting defaults:
	setterfile:
		{
			"field1" = 0xff,
			"field2" = 0xf,
			"field3" = 0xf
		}

You can generate a binary packed blob as follows:
	./blobtool specfile setterfile binaryoutput
	binaryoutput:	ff ff

The reverse is also possible, i.e. you can regenerate the setter:
	./blobtool -d specfile binaryoutput setterorig
	setterorig:
		# AUTOGENERATED SETTER BY BLOBTOOL
		{
			"field1" = 0xff,
			"field2" = 0xf,
			"field3" = 0xf
		}

This tool comes with spec/set files for X200 flash descriptor
and ICH9M GbE region, and can be extended or used to decompile
other data blobs with known specs.
