Fix a few issues with the E6430 configs to make it consistent with
configs for other boards and function as intended.
- Add VBT to CBFS: Although the VBT was enabled at the board level
Kconfig in a previous commit (CONFIG_INTEL_GMA_HAVE_VBT), the config
to actually add the VBT to CBFS was still unset.
- Enable the static option table: The old config would always use the
fallback values hard coded in the coreboot tree, rather than the
settings in the cmos.default file
- Enable DRAM clear on boot: This was not set previously, even though
most other boards set this for security.

now the docs are complete, in releases. they
contain the libreboot site, libreboot images,
the untitled static site generator and untitled

this replaces the previous behaviour, which erred
on a specific value of grub_errno, which was a
problem if other types of errors used that value.
due to the way i patch out the prefix error messages,
this new patch ensures that only those errors are
silenced. all other messages will be printed.

it still printed "error: ." on screen, instead
of the prefix message.
now it's silent. it just says:
Welcome to GRUB!

it can annoy some users, so just silence it. we don't need
a lot of modules so we only have a few, but some distro
grub configs can load modules frivilously.

TSEG Stage Cache enabled again, because disabling it
did not affect S3 in any way.
Many configs have changed, and debug level is set to 7.
In testing with V-T60 on IRC, it wasn't just removal of
the DDR2 patch that I did, but I re-did the configs too,
in exactly the same way I've done them here, when testing
on an X200 to fix boot issues.
Libreboot does not use defconfigs, instead it uses full
configs, and these have to be updated. I normally just
run make-oldconfig on every config, for revision updates.
However, every now and then, we need to re-do them.
Play it safe and re-do every config. I've double- and
triple-checked that the configs are correct.

the ddr2 fix broke *ddr3* on gm45 thinkpads in
testing, depending on memory modules. this was
established by removing patches, re-doing
configs etc, on a user's X200 (testing gentoo
and freebsd). the X200 kept randomly rebooting
or having random glitches.
the configs themselves (gm45 thinkpads) will
also be re-done, because i found minor issues
unrelated, but this patch moves dell e6400 to
its own tree. the ddr2 fix is no longer present
in coreboot/default, only coreboot/dell.
i noticed minor differences in gm45 thinkpad
configs, when re-doing the configs, versus
what are currently in lbmk master; for instance,
vbt was not enabled anymore, on thinkpad x200.
modifications to these will be done separately.

The original E6430 patch included the Intel VBT file, but did not
actually enable it in Kconfig. Update the patch to enable it and
update the E6430 configs.
with this, you can just do:
cd src/docs
./build
the html files would then be available for
publishing, if you wish, or you could set up
a local httpd to view them.
if you have pandoc installed, this will build the
markdown files into html
untitled static site generator is what generates
the html files, from the markdown files, on the
website. it will now also be included in releases.

it didn't work in the past, but it does work nowadays;
specifically, it only worked with libgfxinit in the past,
but not on VGA ROMs.
now it does work on VGA ROMs, tested on e6400 and t1650 so
it was enabled there.
in this setup, a special image is provided where SeaBIOS is
the main payload, but it only loads GRUB; nothing else, every.
this is called SeaGRUB. this setup is useful in cases where
the user only has a GPU that lacks libgfxinit support.

this is to ensure alphanumeric sorting, with
capital letters first; and numbers before letters.
we always relied on this, but until now lbmk would
just assume the host is configured this way.
this fixes a longstanding design flaw in lbmk.

when printing the name of the rom being created, it's
done before the check to rename based on vendorfiles
in target.cfg. this patch fixes that bug.

it's preferable that the vram setting be as high as
feasible, for users. we overlooked this on some
newer platforms that were added, over several
releases. these levels won't offend most users,
and people who want less can always turn it down

Faulty keyboards make GRUB unusable. Normally it happens
when a user plugs in a faulty USB keyboard, but if it's
the laptop keyboard, then GRUB becomes unusable and the
user cannot boot anything.
So, your laptop keyboard is a ticking timebomb if you use
GRUB; with this patch, that's no longer the case.

My previous fix to revert didn't fix S3 on GM45, one
of the platforms reported fixed by 78263; I'm merging
that instead, at patch set 10.
It is referenced by 78815/1 which was split from it,
so merge that too (restores overrides of higher values,
on certain platforms that we don't use yet).

Accordingly, update configs to match the new default.

also, enable seabios_withgrub on e6400, but not grubfirst;
right now, we also support dgpu which would brick on
grubfirst. on my tested nvidia model, loading grub from
seabios worked, so i'm going to re-add seabios_grubfirst
functionality like in older libreboot revisions, enabled
selectively on a given target.
e6430 currently only has igpu support anyway, but i've done
the same thing there, in anticipation of future dgpu support.
e6400 and e6430 ec report scancode set 2 with translation
by default, but only actually output scancode set 1
grub is trying to use scancode set 2 without scancode
translation, so the key inputs get messed up
fix it by forcing scancode set 2 with translation, but
only on coreboot; other build targets on GRUB will
retain the same behaviour as before
courtesy goes to Nicholas Chin who inspired me, and
helped me to fix this. tested on Nicholas's E6400
and E6430, and my E6400; Riku also tested it on
non-Dell, as did I (some thinkpads), and all seems OK.
The new behaviour in coreboot GRUB is essentially no
different to that of SeaBIOS, which does the same.

the patch included in this revision is pulled from:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/54024/2
contrary to hell's assertion of "not for merge", this does
in fact work nicely on a dell e6400; nicholas chin tested
on e6400 and found that those RCOMP values are the same
nicholas was testing some errant modules that seemed to
fail raminit in coreboot. in some cases, dell e6400 would
regularly fail coldboot even though reboot was ok; this was
therefore the cause of suspicioun for it being raminit-related
with this patch from hell (Angel Pons, but knows as hell
on IRC) it should fix boot issue on Dell Latitude E6400

note: me6_update_parser needs to be written, similar
to me7_update_parser, to generate the partition
tables within intel me6 on lenovo bios updates.
the current logic in lbmk goes like this:
mkdir -p vendorfiles/cache/
and save your factory dump as:
vendorfiles/cache/x201_factory.rom
the build system has been modified, in such a way
as to support extracting me.bin (which is the full
one) and then neutering from this.
this is done automatically, if the file is present,
but you must first insert that file there, which means
you'll need a dump of the original boot flash on your
thinkpad x201
