Not needed in our use-case, and probably doesn't have any
source code. Accidentally missed during prior audits.

people were raising a stink about futility test data
in GNU Boot recently, which is proprietary data that
they forgot to delete.
i was already deleting this data since october 2023,
when canoeboot pretty much first started, and they
recently started following suit in their project.
however, i was deleting specific files, found as a
result of intense auditing done in october 2023. to
be more cautious, this patch now simply deletes the
entire directory, so that no test data remains. this
ensures that any future additions upstream will not
be included inadvertently in releases.
not to gloat, but this was never an issue in canoeboot.
again to be clear, this is a preventative fix; titled
"irony prevention", because such a bug in a future
release would indeed be highly ironic.
irony is not allowed.

Add patches to convert the E6400 port into a GM45 Latitude variant and
add the E4300 as another variant, and create a config for the E4300.
Tested on my E6400 and E4300.

same as the recent update in lbmk, but adapted for cbmk,
e.g. the patches to disable microcode blobs by default.
i copied it from the lbmk update but updated nuke.list
and excluded certain patches not needed in canoeboot, such
as the new dell latitude patches and haswell nri
The coreboot/dell tree was also merged to /default, just
like in lbmk. This puts Canoeboot completely in sync,
but with deblobbing as is customary for Canoeboot.

blobs.list is now nuke.list
this is because i'm going to import this functionality
into lbmk (libreboot build system).
libreboot will not do full deblobbing like canoeboot does,
but there are still certain files that i like to delete
in releases, such as u-boot's strlcat.c file under tests
calling it "nukeblobs" in libreboot makes no sense, but
i like to avoid merge conflicts when cherry-picking
patches between cbmk and lbmk, so i like to make sure
that functions and variables common to both are named
the name.
simply calling it "nuke" or calling the files "nuke.list"
is probably inoffensive while conveying the same meaning.

Same idea as my never-download-microcode patch. Even if a
coreboot config enables blobs, the blobs are not actually
downloaded or inserted or otherwise handled in any way.
This means I can re-use lbmk-based coreboot configs without
as much modification, thus reducing the maintenance burden
for Canoeboot releases.

With other recent changes, and this patch, Canoeboot is now
in sync with Libreboot lbmk, commit:
cd9685d12d2b71a00cb6766bb85f392d4db92c83
This is with updated deblobbing, and Canoeboot's no-microcode
patches, that disable microcode updates universally.
Several patches from lbmk (for coreboot) aren't needed,
due to being for boards that Canoeboot does not use, so
those patches have been somewhat rebased, and configs
adapted, but this is otherwise identical.
As in previous Canoeboot updates, I've turned off this
option in all coreboot configs:
CONFIG_USE_BLOBS
Turning off that option prevents the coreboot build system
from ever attempting to use any blobs, but in practise it
would not have done so anyway, because Canoeboot disables
all handling of microcode in the build system.

cbmk 9429287 is the present canoeboot revision, on this day,
two commits after canoeboot 20231107
the cbmk revision was based on lbmk c4d90087, but lbmk
has developed a lot since, right up to f5b04fa5. lbmk
c4d90087 was four commits after libreboot 20231106
this patch brings cbmk up to date, versus lbmk f5b04fa5,
which is 135 commits after libreboot 20231106 (not 4)
therefore, the next canoeboot release shall import lbmk
changes made *after* lbmk revision f5b04fa5. good day!
In English (the above is for my reference, next time
I make a new canoeboot release):
This imports all of the numerous improvements from
Libreboot, sans the non-FSDG-compliant changes. You
can find a full list of such changes in the audit4 page:
https://libreboot.org/news/audit4.html
A full canoeboot-ised changelog will be available in
the next canoeboot release, with these and subsequent
changes. Most notable here is the update to the new
GRUB 2.12 release (instead of 2.12-rc1), and the
improvements Riku made to pico-serprog. And the build
system improvements from lbmk, such as improved, more
generic cmake and autoconf handling.
Canoeboot-specific changes: I also tweaked the deblob
logic, to make it less error-prone. The new design
changes imported into cbmk (based on latest lbmk) somewhat
broke the deblob logic; it was constantly reminding the
user that blobs.list was missing for coreboot,
at config/coreboot/blobs.list - coreboot is a multi-tree
project in both cbmk and lbmk, and the deblob logic was
tuned for single/multi, but was treating coreboot as both.
for simplicity, i removed the check for whether blobs.list
is present. this means that the operator must ensure that
these files are present, in any given revision, where they
are required on a given set of projects (and the files are
all present, in this update to cbmk)
Also of note: the grub.cfg improvements are included in this
cbmk update. The improved grub.cfg can find grub/syslinux
configs by default, not just grub anymore, also finds extlinux,
and will also find them on EFI System Partition - in addition,
UEFI-based install media is also more robust; although cbmk
doesn't provide UEFI configurations on x86, our GRUB palyoad
does still need to work with distro install media, and many
of them now use UEFI-based GRUB configurations in their
installation media, which just happen to work with our GRUB

changes after libreboot 20231101 were imported,
up to libreboot 20231106, and then to revision:
c4d90087535617d4fb31ca94803f9426010cfec5
i945 and gm45 configs were re-done, and dell e6400
was moved to its own tree with the ddr2 fix moved
there, to prevent breakage on ddr3-based gm45 boards
(look at libreboot 20231106 for more info)
several fixes are present in this canoeboot release,
that were only merged in libreboot *after* the
libreboot 20231106 release, and they are:
* c4d90087 add grub mods: diskfilter,hashsum,loadenv,setjmp
* d0d6decb re-add grub modules: f2fs, json, read, scsi, sleep
* 86608721 nvmutil: print usage
* f12f5c3a nvmutil: fix makefile
the release documentation has also been updated,
pulling down newer cbwww and cbwww-img based on
the new canoeboot 20231107 release announcement
