Linux doesn't differentiate between the two either and by adopting that,
we can have intermediary .tmp_*/ directories automatically deleted when
cleaning.

On the ARM Virt platform, QEMU places its device tree at the start of
RAM and doesn't provide a standard FW_CFG to access it.
To be able to keep reusing it when chainloading barebox in future and
passing it to the kernel, reserve this piece of memory.

We previously used barebox-dt-2nd.img as image for Qemu Virt.
Adding a dedicated image however allows us to use -kernel to specify,
well, a kernel, which can make some testing scenarios more straight
forward, once we implement support for barebox to lookup -kernel and
-append QEMU options.

The *.mod.c files are generated C files built as part of the module
build. They didn't have a -std= set so far, so newer toolchains, module
build failed, because true/false became keyworks in -std=c23.
Add an explicit -std=gnu11 to fix this.

The module code currently assumes RWX. This can be fixed if desired, but
for now just reflect it in Kconfig to avoid the runtime panic.

EXPORT_SYMBOL around the tree, which we will rely on later.

To: barebox; +Cc: David Dgien, Claude, Ahmad Fatoum
We have a defunct modules_install target, which fails when called.
Fix it, so it actually installs stripped modules.
This is important, because we don't want barebox to attempt relocation
the .debug sections as it doesn't support all relocations that can occur
there.
Note that unlike Linux, we always strip. Linux on the other hand has a
check that skips relocation of non-alloc segments and we may want to add
that too in future, but only after switching to barebox proper being
linked in PBL as proper ELF.

Compiling with arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Debian 14.2.0-19) 14.2.0
generates a few more relocation types than the module loader currently
supports.
Import support for them from Linux, so we can start automatically
testing this feature.

The upcoming module test will build pm_domain as module and check that
dynamically adding commands work, so prepare for that in Kconfig.

We can inject new environment files via FW_CFG with pytest --env.
Add support for an env: key that allows manipulating the barebox
environment with only the YAML.

We want a single file with all modules to make it easier to load them
inside emulation. Add a very simple environment target to facilitate
this.
There may be room for improvement as enabling CONFIG_MODULES_ENVIRONMENT
triggers the rebuild every time, but for experimental feature that's
not enabled by default, it should be acceptable for now.

To make sure that this experimental command support doesn't bitrot, add
two tests to exercise it:
- The ECAM PCI driver module is loaded and we verify that PCI devices
are only detected after it was loaded
- The pm_domain command module is loaded and we verify that the
command only exists after it was loaded
The pm_domain command was chosen, because the resulting module has no
references to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ as this seems to be not yet supported.
The hope is that modules32_defconfig will be removed in future in favor
of a fragment that just enables modules on top of
multi_v7_defconfig.yaml. This is not yet possible, however, because not
all drivers have been fixed yet to be able to build with CONFIG_MODULES
(repeated EXPORT_SYMBOL are a common issue for example).
