Subject: image.h: isolate android_image_* functions from tooling

image.h: isolate android_image_* functions from tooling

On Feb. 16, 2020, Tom reported [1] build failure of U-Boot in-tree
tooling after applying https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1229663/
("[v6,0/7] rsa: extend rsa_verify() for UEFI secure boot").

Later on, Heinrich stressed the urgency of the issue in
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1250858/#2379069:

 >>>>>>>>>
 We should finalize the topic as it stops EFI patches from being merged
 >>>>>>>>>

On the surface, the problem is caused by U-Boot commits [2-3], which
employed 'u32' in 'include/image.h', while historically U-Boot tooling
stayed agnostic on the {u,s}{8,16,32} types.

Thanks to Tom, Yamada-san and Heinrich, the following solutions have
been put head-to-head ('+' pros, '-' cons):

 A. Use an equivalent fixed-size type, i.e. s/u32/uint32_t/ in both
    android function prototypes (image.h) and definitions (c file):
    + quick and low-line-count
    - creates a 'soup' of fixed-sized types in the Android C file
    - will confuse contributors
    - is going against Linux kernel best practices [4]

 B. Guard Android functions by '!defined(USE_HOSTCC)' in image.h:
    + quick and low-line-count
    + reflects the reality (no android function is used by tooling)
    + zero impact on other subsystems
    - ifdeffery may look annoying (pre-existing problem of image.h)

 C. Make {u8,u16,u32} available in U-Boot tooling:
    + quick and low-line-count
    + [Yamada-san][5]:
      * forbidding u32 for tools is questionable to me
      * Linux kernel and Barebox use {u8,u16,u32} for the tools space
    - breaks U-Boot tradition?
    - has larger impact than [A] and [B]
    - adds type complexity/inconsistency in the tooling space

 D. [Yamada-san] Refactor the headers to minimize the code shared
    between U-Boot space and tooling space:
    + probably the long-term solution
    - high effort
    - can be seen/done as an incremental update on top of [B]

Looking at the above, [B] looks like the natural way to go forward.
