Add a tool that can generate GUIDs that match those generated internally

Dynamic UUIDs in U-Boot work by taking a namespace UUID and hashing it
with the board model, compatible, and fw_image name.
This tool accepts the same inputs and will produce the same GUID as
U-Boot would at runtime.
This functionality should be integrated into the mkeficapsule.
Just pass the device-tree into mkeficapsule and generate the GUIDs
whereever they are needed.
I like the idea of moving this mkeficapsule which is already part of
distro packages but, isn't it easier to pass the compatible string
node and the namespace?
Yeah, we only need the first entry in the compatible property, so
parsing the whole DT is a bit overkill.
I can look at combining these tools, can mkeficapsule generate a capsule
for multiple images?
Would we want it to work such that you provide the namespace GUID,
compatible, and image names, and have it generate a capsule with the
right image GUIDs?
Or would it be simple enough to just incorporate the functionality of
genguid?
Kind regards,
