Since many boards use the same ME firmware, we could save
everyone's bandwidth and time by caching the update files.

This is useful for e.g. HP EliteBook 2560p.
In coreboot config, enable e.g. (for lbmk blobutil):
CONFIG_KBC1126_FW1="../../ec/hp2560p/ec.bin.fw1"
CONFIG_KBC1126_FW2="../../ec/hp2560p/ec.bin.fw2"
In resources/blobs/sources you would have these entries:
EC_url
EC_url_bkup
EC_hash
don't download it. keep it in lbmk.
libreboot moved to codeberg for git hosting,
and i didn't want to keep lugging around an
extra git repo just for one tiny project.
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.
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
