mkimage supports combining multiple input binaries separating them with colons (':'). This is used at least for Rockchip platforms to encode payload offsets and sizes in the image header. It is required for Rockchip SPI boot since for the rkspi format, after the input binary combining, the entire image is spread across only the first 2K bytes of each 4K block.
Previous to this change, multiple inputs to a binman mkimage node would just be concatenated and the combined input would be passed as the -d argument to mkimage. Now, the inputs are instead passed colon-separated.

This is a bit of a messy implementation for now and would probably break existing uses of mkimage that rely on the concatenation behaviour.
Questions:
- Should this be a separate entry type, or an option to the mkimage entry type that enables this behaviour?
- What kind of test(s) should I add?
