it's bloat. telling the user to rtfm is something that
we already do on irc; they will still ask how to do
everything, and ignore the message from badcmd(), or
they will automatically know to rtfm.
i'm on a massive purge, removing bloat from lbmk as
part of Libreboot Build System Audit 6.
all bloat must go.

replace it with logic that simply uses "." to load
files directly. for this, "vcfg" is added as a variable
in coreboot target.cfg files, referring to a directory
in config/vendor/ containing a file named pkg.cfg, and
this file then contains the same variables as the
erstwhile config/vendor/sources
config/git files are now directories, also containing
pkg.cfg files each with the same variables as before,
such as repository link and commit hash
this change results in a noticeable reduction in code
complexity within the build system.
unified reading of config files: new function setcfg()
added to lib.sh
setcfg checks if a config exists. if a 2nd argument is
passed, it is used as a return value for eval, otherwise
a string calling err is passed. setcfg output is passed
through eval, to set strings based on config; eval must
be used, so that the variables are set within the same
scope, otherwise they'd be set within setcfg which could
lead to some whacky results.
there's still a bit more more to do, but this single change
results in a substantial reduction in code complexity.

This reverts commit 3610667e3d.
The output of some functions in the roms script are used as
an argument in cp and mv commands, also cbfstool. I overlooked
this fact in a previous code optimisation.
Revert it. The change only reduced sloccount by a few lines
anyway.
this is bloat, because it's something the user can already
do at runtime configuration anyway.
set it to a reasonable default of 8 seconds instead of 5,
and don't honour the timeout variable in target.cfg.
this will be documented in the next release.

i disabled a check in the script, while testing a prior
modification. re-introoduce the check, which is put there
to yield an error condition if no targets were compiled.

payloads are compiled before coreboot, but it doesn't matter
to the build speed whether this is done first.
reduce the lines of code by checking payload builds *while*
adding them to the coreboot images. this means that coreboot
is now compiled first, before the payloads.

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.

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.
