In recent coreboot versions, running distclean started to erase the
cbfstool binary we built earlier in the util/cbfstool dir via the
cbutils build script call. The coreboot build puts it in a different
directory, and the roms build script can't find it when trying to add
payloads to the roms. This doesn't make the script fail (because set -e
is stupid like that), and the build appears to succeed if you don't look
close enough to see the "cbfsutil not found" error.
Build the coreboot utils we want at the places we want them after
calling distclean, so that we can actually use cbfsutil and avoid
silently-broken roms with newer coreboot versions.

This enables embedding U-Boot into the coreboot roms as the payload. For
now, the ELF file generated by enabling CONFIG_REMAKE_ELF is used, which
includes the U-Boot binary and the board-specific device-tree file. It
might be better to use the FIT payload support for U-Boot, but that was
reportedly broken and is not tested yet.
Coreboot boards can specify payload_uboot="y" in their board.cfg to
enable building a rom with U-Boot as the payload, which is built from
the U-Boot board with the same name. Boards can further specify a
uboot_config option, to choose which board-specific config file U-Boot
should be built with.

The 32-bit ARM cross compiler toolchain is used to build parts of
arm-trusted-firmware needed by AArch64 boards, compile the toolchain for
those boards as well.

The code that compiles coreboot crossgcc changes the working directory
to the coreboot directory, and the following code cannot find the lbmk
scripts that it needs to run. Compile ARMv7 and AArch64 cross compilers
in a subshell like in the x86 case so the rest of the script can work.

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.
mitigate missing characters in unifont for border/arrow characters. this saves
space because now it is no longer necessary to add a custom font
the background added has the libreboot logo on it, and it's 10kb in size unlike
the old gnulove background that was hundreds of KB
These option ROMs are known to cause a system hang. If you insert an empty
option ROM into CBFS, it disables any option ROM loading for those devices
when using SeaBIOS.
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
