Description

Building for mangopi mq crashes with the following error:

   Image 'itb' is missing external blobs and is non-functional: opensbi
   
   /binman/itb/fit/images/opensbi/opensbi (fw_dynamic.bin):
      See the documentation for your board. The OpenSBI git repo is at
      https://github.com/riscv/opensbi.git
      You may need to build fw_dynamic.bin first and re-build u-boot with
      OPENSBI=/path/to/fw_dynamic.bin
   
   Some images are invalid

See, e.g., https://forum.armbian.com/topic/21465-armbian-image-and-build-support-for-risc-v/?do=findComment&comment=190008

The fix is to build OpenSBI and use it to build uboot as suggested in error message, as discussed in https://forum.rvspace.org/t/building-u-boot-from-mainline-repo/3398 for example. This PR adds OpenSBI building stage.
