an equivalent change has been made in cbmk.
certain lbmk-specific variable names have been made
generic, with certain functions and other variables
moved around.
i maintain sync between libreboot and canoeboot, where
both projects can have the same behaviours, and most of
the merge conflicts have to do with variable names
containing "LBMK", "lbmk", "cbmk" or "CBMK", or
indeed "canoeboot" and "libreboot"
LBMK/lbmk/CBMK/cbmk variables between canoeboot and
libreboot now contain the string XBMK/xbmk
it should now be *much* easier to merge build system
changes between lbmk and cbmk.

broadwell mrc is retained, because it's needed on 820 g2
it's no longer needed on haswell, because nri is stable. nri
is short for "native ram initialisation", and libreboot provides
this for: thinkpad t440p, thinkpad w541, dell optiplex 9020 mt,
and dell optiplex 9020 sff
remove, in line with libreboot's binary blob reduction policy
previous revisions, prior to the recent release, stated that
it would be retained for compatibility, but it's really not
right to retain it, because doing so violates libreboot's policy
the recent release excluded mrc-based rom images for haswell
machines, providing only those rom images that use the libre
raminit, while retaining support for mrc in the build system, so
that users could still run the lbmk inject script on older release
roms that use mrc
again: libreboot's binary blob reduction policy is very clear:
https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html
it is a policy that can be summarised, thus:
if a blob can be avoided, it must be avoided.
therefore, we will avoid the Haswell MRC raminit blob

stub it from the main build script
the commands remain identical:
./vendor download arguments_here
./vendor inject arguments_here

move it all to other files where items are used, and not
used anywhere else. this reduces the size of vendor.sh.
also remove a few redundant variables, or variables that
are not meaningfully used.
a few items have been moved to include/option.sh

they are the functions only used by the download
script, so they don't belong in vendor.sh
an include file should only contain variables and
functions used by multiple main scripts

This way, the handling of configs is unified into one
script, which reduces the possibility of bugs later,
and it reduces the repetition of code.

coreboot closely matches upstream, whose current release
is version 1.2 from 2018, and coreboot has not changed it
in any meaningful way.
the upstream did add patches since, but they are documentation
patches only.
this means: we do not need to use the upstream version

in the future, we may start downloading files that aren't
blobs, such as mxm port configs (on mainboards that use
MXM graphics)
this directory will contain all of those files
generally change the language used, across lbmk, to make
use of "vendorfile" instead of "blob"
