  This patchset implements existing pmdinfogen logic in Python, replaces
and removes the old code. The goals of rewriting are:

* easier maintenance by using a more high-level language,
* simpler build process without host application and libelf,
* foundation for adding Windows support.

Travis CI script is adjusted to install python3-pyelftools, but other CI
systems may need similar tweaking. Particularly, testing on FreeBSD and
big-endian targets is desired.

Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>

Changes in v8:

    * Fix syntax for meson 0.47.1 (CI).
    * Disable configure-time check for pyelftools for Windows (CI).

Dmitry Kozlyuk (3):
  pmdinfogen: add Python implementation
  build: use Python pmdinfogen
  pmdinfogen: remove C implementation
