Vitali64 cff081c6db Fix grub's slow boot
On many boards, grub takes a very long time to
search for a grub.cfg file on the disk.
The problem is the search_grub function which
takes a long time to complete.
I (vitali64) studied the grub.cfg from 2016 and
the grub.cfg from 2021 and optimized the
grub.cfg. It should be faster now.

Leah Rowe eed25bd220 update coreboot and nuke tianocore
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.

Leah Rowe eec4dcd97e grub.cfg: scan grub.cfg on lvm first, before crypto volumes
In most LUKS setups, the user configured LVM, so doing this check first will
increase boot speeds.

Leah Rowe 37ebccb8a8 grub.cfg: don't handle usb at all in the main menuentry
usb support is extremely buggy in grub, and can cause boot delay issues

Leah Rowe ebeeff6969 grub.cfg: don't run search_grub usb in the main menuentry
There is literally an entire other menuentry just for this purpose.

Leah Rowe 7c998b4538 grub.cfg: search usb *last*, in the main menuentry
There is already a separate menuentry for USB, and most people don't boot their
installed system from USB anyway. This will result in faster boot speeds.

Leah Rowe 62fa042a17 re-add grub backgrounds and update grub. mitigate missing characters
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

Leah Rowe 4e093b3ecc grub.cfg: increase default timeout to 10 seconds
this is a compromise. i was going to do 30 for desktops, 1 for laptops.
however, some laptop users complain about the 1 second timeout being too fast.
10 seconds should just about please everyone.

Leah Rowe f195282d90 grub.cfg patch from shmalebx9: reverse search order for encrypted partitions
Also, when a cryptomount is successful, break from the loop and boot from that.
In most cases, this will work just fine, and this change improves the boot
speed in the vast majority of cases.

Leah Rowe 89517ed6b9 libreboot!
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
