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
