python support for full-elf format

[keosu]

Does the python API support full-elf format?

It's a simple c++ code snippet, but when I try to use python, I found that Python bindings for xrt::hw_context missing advanced constructor and add_config method. Do we support this now or is there a simple python example for this?

    xrt::elf add_elf("a_simple_add.elf");
    xrt::device device = xrt::device(0);
    xrt::hw_context context = xrt::hw_context(device, xrt::hw_context::cfg_param_type{},
                                              xrt::hw_context::access_mode::shared);
    context.add_config(add_elf);

This is not supported by the current implementation of the Python API. Currently, the Python API only has two constructors for a hardware context (see the hw_context implementation in the Python API ). These constructors only support creation using either an xrt::device and an xrt::uuid or an xrt::device and an xrt::elf. Furthermore, the xrt::hw_context::cfg_param_type, the xrt::hw_context::access_mode and the add_config function are NOT supported.

As I am not involved in this project, I cannot provide any additional information beyond the current status.
