Add support for collecting Self Boot Engine(SBE) dump

SBE is a microcontroller that sits inside the processor
to initialize it to start the booting procedure. It also acts as
a secure channel for accessing certain control functions on
the processor. During the booting or other hardware access operations
SBE can encounter errors and become unresponsive. In such situations,
the debug data needs to be collected from such SBEs to find out
the root cause of the error.
This data may include hardware state, configuration, memory, etc.
The collected data is then packaged into the OpenPOWER dump format
and which is to be called as SBE dump.

The SBE dump is collected from an responsive SBE using special
procedures which is executing hardware access instructions
to get the memory and other hardware states. This commit adds
support for calling such procedure implementations.

Test:
Execute SBE dump collection during dump-collect

Update SBE dump collection process and error handling

This commit added the dump collection from SBE. It introduces the
capability to invoke the getdump chip operation on the SBE) and
added traces for any failures encountered during the operation.

In addition to the above, this update brings in a new utility function
designed to write the collected dump data into a specified file format
and path.

Furthermore, the commit incorporates a logic check function to determine
the necessity of fastarray data collection when performing the dump from
SBE. This addition optimizes the dump collection process by selectively
gathering fastarray data only when it's deemed necessary.

The dump-collect application reports a failure if the destination path
remains empty post-operation, indicating that no dump files were
successfully collected from any of the SBEs.

Tests:
- Collect hardware dump
- Collect hostboot dump

dump-collect: Add application for SBE dump collection

This series of commits introduces the `dump-collect` application, a new
command-line tool designed to facilitate the collection of dumps from
the SBE. The tool is capable of asynchronous operation, allowing it
to initiate dump collection from different SBEs at the same time.

Key Highlights:
- The base implementation sets up the application to accept necessary
parameters for dump collection, including dump type, dump ID,
destination path for collected data, and the ID of the failing unit.
- An implementation of the dump collection class and the initiation
method enables the start of the dump collection process
asynchronously.
- The `dump-collect` application is designed to be invoked from scripts,
which collect various data in the case of system failures.

Tests:
Validated parameters passed
Starting dump collection method
