mb/supermicro/x11-lga1151-series: add x11ssh-f board as a variant
This adds another X11 series board, the X11SSH-F, which is similiar to X11SSH-TF but differs in PCIe interfaces/devices, ethernet interfaces.

+# Supermicro X11SSH-F
+
+This section details how to run coreboot on the [Supermicro X11SSH-F].
+
+## Flashing coreboot
+
+The board can be flashed externally. [STM32-based programmers] worked.
+
+The flash IC "W25Q128.V" (detected by flashrom) can be found near PCH PCIe Slot 4. It is sometime
+socketed, and covered by a sticker, hindering the observation of its precise model.
+
+It can be programmed in-system with a clip like pomona 5250.
+
+## BMC (IPMI)
+
+This board has an ASPEED [AST2400], which has BMC/[IPMI] functionality. The BMC firmware resides in a
+32 MiB SOIC-16 chip in the corner of the mainboard near the PCH PCIe Slot 4. This chip is a
+[MX25L25635F].
+
+## IGD
+
+If an IGD is integrated with CPU, it will be enabled on this board. Though there is no video output
+for it (The onboard VGA port is connected to BMC), it is said to be capable of being used for compute
+tasks, or for offloading graphics rendering via "muxless" [vga_witcheroo].
+
+## Tested and working
+
+- SeaBIOS payload to boot Kali Linux live USB
+- ECC ram (Linux' ie31200 driver works)
+- Integrated graphics device available without output
+- USB ports
+- Ethernet
+- SATA ports
+- RS232 external
+- PCIe slots
+- BMC (IPMI)
+- VGA on Aspeed
+- TPM on TPM expansion header
+
+## Known issues
+
+- See general issue section
+- S3 resume not working (vendor and coreboot)
+- SeaBIOS cannot make use of VGA on Aspeed (even if IGD is disabled)
+
+## ToDo
+
+- Fix known issues
+- Testing other payloads
+
