The S3 path now follows the pattern:
/mender/mender-convert/uboot/<dev-family>/<dev-config>-<uboot-ver>.tar
For RPi and BBB these are automatically published form the CI Pipeline
of repo mender-convert-integration-scripts while for RockPro64 they have
been manually moved (as we expect this to be a one time integration).
Reworked a bit also the *_BINARIES variable so that we can keep the
u-boot version in the base config files and let the childs only define
the a config name.

This is necessary for the U-boot -> EFI -> GRUB integration to be
complete as many boards embedd the U-Boot binary at the start
of the SD/eMMC a.k.a boot-gap.
When MENDER_COPY_BOOT_GAP is enabled, it will be copied from the
input disk image to the output ".sdimg"

The goals of the re-write was to achieve the following:
1. It should be easy to extend the tool to support other boards or distributions
2. We should not compile code in the tool (rely on binaries built elsewhere)
compiling code increases complexity, due to requirement of toolchains etc.
3. The tool shall not be designed around specific hardware/platform types
- This is the case today with the usage of --device-type flag
4 The tool should be to convert images without knowing anything about the hardware/platform
relates to above 3.
5. Configuration interface should be simplified
- command line flags -> configuration files
6. Platform specific code shall be provided trough “hooks”, and are not part of the “core” mender-convert code
7. It shall be easy to extend functionality
- support for rootfs overlay to inject user applications/configurations
- ability to override how the Mender Artifact is generated (to be able to sign and include state-scripts)
8. Code structure should be modular
- Eases Maintenance and possibility of making isolated changes
