T480/T480S: Support fetching ThunderBolt firmware

Though not used in coreboot builds, and not injected into the
builds in any way, these files are now created seperately when
handling T480/T480s vendor files:

vendorfiles/t480/tb.bin
vendorfiles/t480s/tb.bin

These are created by extracting Lenovo's ThunderBolt firmware
from update files. The updated firmware fixes a bug; older firmware
enabled debug commands that wrote logs to the TB controller's
own flash IC, and it'd get full up with logs, bricking the controller.
If you've already been screwed by this, you must flash externally,
using a padded firmware from Lenovo's updates.

Lenovo's own updater requires creating a boot CD or booting
Windows. This patch in lbmk auto-downloads just the firmware,
and you can flash it externally.

You could simply do this as a matter of course, when installing
Libreboot. You are recommended to update the Lenovo UEFI/EC firmwares
first, before installing Libreboot; please look at the Libreboot
documentation to know exactly which versions.

Then dump the ThunderBolt firmware first, to be sure, and then you
can flash these files. Flashing these updates will prevent the bug
described here:

You can download Lenovo's installers for various ThinkPad models
there, including T480s/T480s. It is these downloads that this lbmk
patch uses, to extract those files directly.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] lenovo: Add Kconfig option CONFIG_LENOVO_TBFW_BIN
This is used by lbmk to know where a tb.bin file goes,
when extracting and padding TBT.bin from Lenovo ThunderBolt
firmware updates on T480/T480s and other machines, grabbing
Lenovo update files.
Not used in any builds, so it's not relevant for ./mk inject
However, the ThunderBolt firmware is now auto-downloaded on
T480/T480s. This is not inserted, because it doesn't go in
the main flash, but the resulting ROM image can be flashed
on the TB controller's separate flash chip.
Locations are as follows:
vendorfiles/t480s/tb.bin
vendorfiles/t480/tb.bin
This can be used for other affected ThinkPads when they're
added to Libreboot, but note that Lenovo provides different
TB firmware files for each machine.
Since I assume it's the same TB controller on all of those
machines, I have to wonder: what difference is there between
the various TBT.bin files provided by Lenovo, and how do they
differ in terms of actual flashed configuration?
We simply flash the padded TBT.bin when updating the firmware,
flashing externally. That's what this patch is for, so that
lbmk can auto-download them.

+ ThunderBolt firmware for certain ThinkPad models e.g. T480.
+ Not used in the actual build. Libreboot's build system uses this
+ along with config/vendor/*/pkg.cfg entries defining a URL to the
+ Lenovo download link and hash. The resulting file when processed by
+ lbmk can be flashed to the ThunderBolt firmware's 25XX NOR device.
+ Earlier versions of this firmware had debug commands enabled that
+ sent logs to said flash IC, and it would quickly fill up, bricking
+ the ThunderBolt controller. With these updates, flashed externally,
+ you can fix the issue if present or otherwise prevent it. The benefit
+ here is that you then don't need to use Windows or a boot disk. You
+ can flash the TB firmware while flashing Libreboot firmware. Easy!
+ Look for these variables in lbmk:
+ TBFW_url TBFW_url_bkup TBFW_hash and look at how it handles that and
+ CONFIG_LENOVO_TBFW_BIN, in lbmk's include/vendor.sh file.
+ The path set by CONFIG_LENOVO_TBFW_BIN is used by lbmk when extracting
+ the firmware, putting it at that desired location. In this way, lbmk
+ can auto-download such firmware. E.g. ./mk -d coreboot t480_fsp_16mb
+ and it appears at vendorfiles/t480/tb.bin fully padded and everything!
+
+ Just leave this blank if you don't care about this option. It's not
+ useful for every ThinkPad, only certain models.
