PEL: Python3 module support for UserData parsing
This change enables the calling of python3 parsers for UserData section.
Modules will be searched under the namespace "udparsers" from python3
sys.path directories (including the current directory).
Example:
/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/udparsers/bxxxx/bxxxx.py
or
./udparsers/bxxxx/bxxxx.py
where
b = Creator Subsystem ID for Hostboot
xxxx = Component ID of UserData section
The parsers will need to provide a function called "parseUDToJson" with
input parameters:
1. (int) Sub-section type
2. (int) Section version
3. (memoryview): Data
The return value needs to be a valid JSON string.
