nowadays, we don't insert GRUB keymaps automatically, for
sake of efficiency; without one, the default is US QWERTY.
a user will only want one keymap in particular, so this
is more efficient. in practise, they're either building
from source anyway, or using the inject scripts which
compile cbfstool anyway, so the user will already have
cbfstool.
also output this message from the inject script.

there are two for loops that use x as a variable anme,
and an idiosyncrasy of certain sh implementations is
that these become global;
the result in this case was that when you finish building
every target in "./build roms", it would print "libgfxinit"
repeatedly, comma separated, instead of a comma-separated
list of the targets that were built.
work around it by renaming the variable in one of the loops.

cbcfg is already a global variable, so there's no reason
to set it again at the start of this function.
remove the check for whether the given coreboot config
exists, to the calling function instead of build_roms().

we don't need to call mktemp everytime.
just use a staticly named file in tmpdir
and keep overwriting it.
these files are only small, and they get deleted
when the build system exits later on.

we don't need to check whether this variable is set,
because checking an empty path will also cause the
same return in the next line.

the background is only a few kb. the whole rationale
before was to limit the space used in memdisk, but this
decision was made when the background was much bigger;
it has since been optimised greatly, and the grub modules
were heavily reduce, so it should be safe.
grub's memdisk breaks when you add too much data to it.
as part of simplifying the rest of lbmk, this change removes
some more bloat from the rest of lbmk. handling this in the
memdisk is much simpler than handling it with cbfstool.

if not inserted, the default keymap is usqwerty.
don't waste ssd write cycles copying so many images,
or cpu time compressing so many. the user can simply
add a keymap.gkb file to cbfs and it will work fine.
this will be documented in the next release.

rely on return status per each of the three main rom
functions, to then update the "targets" variable.
use this as the basis to determine which targets were
built, during final confirmation when the script exits.

the current validation check is extremely over-engineered,
because the user override is no longer available and we're
always very careful in how we modify target.cfg per board.
remove the redundant code. trust that target.cfg is correct.

p = payload
s = grub_scan_disk
d = displaymode
setting the payload is no longer safe, due to issue 216
and similar issues that might pop up in the future; it's
best left only to target.cfg, per board, so that we know
what config is safe/tested. don't let the user override it.
scandisk isn't safe to override because the given machine
may not have the type of device that the user specifies
displaymode is actually ok to set, because it simply whitelists
what configs pre-existing to actually use, but it's bloat
basically, the rule is this:
don't make it easy for the user to brick their hardware.
make it harder instead.
a user wily enough to go modifying their payload will probably
have read docs/maintain/ anyway and knows how to edit target.cfg
if they want another board configuration.

i removed this before, when making grub multi-tree,
because the design i used in an earlier version of
the patch actually added the grub.elf generation
to grub source itself, but then i decided to hack
around the grub build system from lbmk/cbmk instead
re-add this functionality, so that users can easily
insert their own custom grub.cfg into cbfs without
needing to re-build their image.

i was originally looser about this, because i also wanted
the trees script to generically run "make" from any
directory, but this behaviour was error-prone and it is
no longer used in the build system.
disable it, in the interest of stability.

don't create elfdir, create dest_dir, which is elfdir
plus the location within it
only create dest_dir within copy_elf, which is only
called if actually compiling the code
this avoids creating empty elf directories, and it
generally cleans up all handling, unifying the
handling of directories into a single function,
namely copy_elf() which already exists
