i have in fact tested whether many of these targets (ivy,
sandy and haswell on intel) boot without microcode, and many
do, but it's not as well tested
the older targets like i945, x4x, pineview and gm45 are
well-tested without microcode; ditto fam10/15h amd.
lbmk supports providing roms with and/or without microcode.
for the targets touched in this commit, lbmk now only
provides images with microcode included by default.
manual removal (with cbfstool) is still possible, if you want
to do that.

and only where grub was already enabled; on boards
that did not enable grub, grub is still disabled
on desktops, it's possible that the user may insert
a graphics card. if their first payload was grub,
it won't work because lbmk doesn't configure coreboot
itself to execute vga roms at present
i found when testing t1650 (dell) that if a vgarom is
loaded from seabios (from a graphics card), the grub
payload still works; if booting in corebootfb mode,
text mode is still used when booting with the card
to decrease the probability of bricks with any given
set of users, make seabios the only payload that starts
first, but make grub available in the esc menu on seabios
it's possible to add a bootorder file and disable the
seabios menu, if you only want a grub payload accessible

they are fundamentally the same, in an lbmk context.
they are downloaded in the same way, and compiled in
the same way!
(Kconfig infrastructure, board-specific code, the way
submodules are used in git, etc)
~200 sloc reduction in resources/scripts
