Also move the ROCK_USB variable for RK3588 from rk3588.conf to rockchip64.conf to achieve consistency.
Remove the now obsolete variable for OrangePi 3B

The aml-s9xx-box builds use the native TV Box u-boot. I've had as a
todo item to figure out how to not build and include an unused u-boot.
In a recent PR for a different board the opposite was being done
(adding a u-boot where a board didn't previously ship one), thus
I then had the info to remove it here.
This also changes the generated extlinux.conf to include a fdt line
by adding the boot_fdt_file to the board config file. This reduces
the effort needed to manually modify the extlinux.conf.
- otherwise:
```
fsck.ext4 -a -C0 /dev/mmcblk0p1
/dev/mmcblk0p1 has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C12
e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!
```
- `orphan_file` can only be disabled on recent-enough e2fsprogs, thus check version and compare
- in practice:
- boards that didn't specify their own blobs: bump DDR 1.08->1.16 ; BL31 1.28 -> 1.45 (example: rock-5b!)
- boards that specified 1.16/1.45 individually now follow the defaults (no change)
- boards that specified a different version: no change; just a TODO suggesting review/removal/go-with-the-defaults
- Mekotronics boards: bump from 1.11/1.38 to defaults (1.16 / 1.45)
The "swapaccount=" option has been deprecated in 6.1. Disable it in almost all boot scripts except "boot-sun50iw9.cmd" since that one is used in sun50iw9 legacy kernel, which is version 4.9.

Instead of having to add every new release to the list that does not support python2, inverse this if statement and only check if the build host is Debian bullseye or ubuntu jammy. Every release newer than those do not have python2. Older build hosts are unsupported.
Different build hosts have vastly different versions of setuptools and pyelftools depending on the host OS, e.g. Ubuntu 22.04 has setuptools v59 while the latest version at the time of this commit is setuptools v71.
Using Pip instead of APT to download these packages assures that all build hosts use the same version, removing some points of failures and inconsistencies.

PR #6659 broke upgrades for the aml-s9xx-box package. That PR introduced
two new files in /boot which is a fat filesystem on this box. The
standard package upgrade fails on a fat filesystem when files already
exist. PR #6659 failed to add the files to the remove list. This
PR does that.
If we want to check if a file is not from one of the listed folders, it needs to be check that
"NOT x AND NOT y AND NOT z" is true, instead of
"NOT x OR NOT y OR NOT z"
Validates the dts/dtb file for the selected board and outputs the validation logs to the user.
This can be used when adding a new board, developing or improving a dts file. Should lead to higher quality device trees and patches overall, if used.
Will show warnings/errors if patches patch in some functionalities to a devicetree file without patching in the dt-bindings .yaml at the same time.
