Cover letter [PATCH 0/3][RFC] Remove ELF Image Type

The ELF Image type is not currently used any more by the coreboot project which was the original creator of this image type along with the mkelfimage tool. The tool was removed from the coreboot repo back in 2014 and has no updates. Each time binutils changes, the mkelfimage tool breaks and requires a patch to the convert.bin.c special header file.

I beleive I got all the bit.

If I don't hear any concerns, I will move this to a regular patch later this week.

Sau!
