previously, "normal" initmode relied on the vgarom-based
seabios config, which enables option roms, but then lbmk
would insert pci-optionrom-exec 0 for vgarom, and 2 for normal
in libreboot, coreboot roms with "vgarom" in the filename do
pci option rom execution from coreboot, and "normal" roms
do execution from seabios(where seabios is the only payload
provided on normal setups)
this is because payloads like grub can also be used, on vgarom
setups, where coreboot must handle oprom execution
By making lbmk fully POSIX-compliant, it will be easier to port lbmk to
other systems implementing POSIX such as Alpine Linux and FreeBSD.

Add the coreboot-built cross-architecture toolchains to the PATH so that
modules and payloads can use them. When building for a foreign-arch
board, also export CROSS_COMPILE pointing to the appropriate prefix.

This enables building U-Boot for boards which have config files in
resources/u-boot, and copying built files that could be usable to make
coreboot payloads. Right now, there is no such board in this repo.
The most important file here is "u-boot.elf", which is a combination of
the U-Boot binary and the appropriate device-tree file for the board.
Building this needs CONFIG_REMAKE_ELF=y on the U-Boot part, and using
this with CONFIG_PAYLOAD_ELF=y on the coreboot build works fine.
Note that this isn't enough to make U-Boot-only releases, since
low-level prerequisites like arm-trusted-firmware aren't passed in to
the U-Boot build system. Coreboot builds its own copy of TF-A and sets
it up on the board, so using these U-Boot builds as payloads should
still work.

I was running into a race condition when rebuilding seabios with a high cpu count,
resulting in failure with this error message:
cc1: fatal error: can't open 'out/src/asm-offsets.s' for writing: No such file or directory
Performing the silentoldconfig step before the full make step seems to resolve the failure.
tianocore is a liability for the libreboot project. it's a bloated mess, and
unreliable, broken on many boards, and basically impossible to audit.
i don't trust tianocore, so i'm removing it.
this is forked from the "libre" branch in osboot, which is itself a libre,
deblobbed fork of osboot, a blobbed up fork of libreboot
libreboot needed to be purged clean. this is the new libreboot development
repository. the old one has been abandoned
