for example:
./build roms list stable
this lists all images that are marked "stable"
now:
./build roms list _stable
this lists all images that are *not* marked stable
this will help me keep track during development

was reported broken on canoeboot 0.1, which uses 2021
coreboot. we use much newer coreboot now in libreboot, but
still, better be cautious. set to release=n.
i'll set status and remove release=n if it works on testing

In practise, both cbmk and lbmk only need coreboot submodules,
but the pico sources download them too, and some of them may
not be FSDG compatible.
So, this change will be Canoeboot-specific, and only download
submodules for coreboot as a result.
The required submodules are defined already in config/git,
so pico-serprog and stm32-vserprog will work just fine.
To be sure: this patch restores behaviour from Canoeboot at
release 20231107. Canoeboot inherited some improvements from
lbmk and I forgot to adapt the code for this. This behaviour
is intentional, as part of Canoeboot's design.

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.

Use shell scripting in the recipe instead of GNU make's
conditional syntax. This allows the Makefile to work with
the default implementations of make on the BSDs.

Add FreeBSD to the README as it is now supported. Make a note about
using gmake instead of make as the makefile currently uses GNU
extensions to determine build flags based on the OS.

it should be marked unstable, though these machines
are basically reliable; they have certain missing features
and quirky behaviour so it's important not to over-sell it
mark it as unstable, on all of the dell latitudes

The pio.h header, although present on NetBSD, is not necessary, as it
only declares x86 port IO inx()/outx() functions which are not actually
implemented.

This is useful on desktops, where you want GRUB to
automatically start, but you still want access to the
GRUB menu, in the case where you rely on SeaBIOS to
execute the VGA ROM inside your graphics card.

export CBMK_THREADS=x
where x is an integer. this is already supported for
setting the number of build threads, but if not set
it uses nproc.
openbsd doesn't have nproc. default to 1 thread.
now you MUST set threads. e.g. in linux do:
export CBMK_THREADS=$(nproc)
preliminary work is being done to make cbmk run
on openbsd!

just to ensure that nothing goes wrong. we don't rely on
the status variable for releases, because there is another
variable, release, that target.cfg files declare, e.g.
release="n"
release="y"
you can just omit the variable, because it defaults to y, so
you only need declare it when it needs to be "n"

export CBMK_STATUS=n
if not set, the status checks and confirmation dialogs
persist. if set to y they persist.
if you set it to n, all checks are disabled, so e.g.:
./build roms all
this would once again build all targets, regardless
of status. this is if you want the old behaviour.

raminit has never been fully reliable on this board, and so
this board has never been stable. so, now that lbmk specifies
such status per board, mark these boards as such.

for example:
./build roms list
this will list every now, still. same behaviour. now see:
./build roms list stable
this will list all stable roms
./build roms list untested
this lists untested roms. but wait!
./build roms list untested broken unstable
./build roms list broken unstable
yes. it works this way. now you can use lbmk to easily
see what rom status are, during maintenance.
