util/smmstoretool: support processing ROMs
Input file is parsed for FMAP and SMMSTORE region which is used if found. Otherwise, the whole file is assumed to be the region. Passing an image with FMAP that lacks SMMSTORER is an error.

## Operation
+### File formats
+
+To discover SMMSTORE, the tool first looks for FMAP header and, if found, for
+SMMSTORE region. If FMAP is found but it has no SMMSTORE region, that's an
+error. If there is no FMAP, the whole file is assumed to be SMMSTORE
+region (e.g., extracted via `cbfstool`).
+
### Storage initialization
If SMMSTORE presence isn't detected and an update operation is requested, the
-store spanning the whole file is created automatically. Size of the store file
-must be a multiple of 64 KiB (block size in version 2 of SMMSTORE protocol),
-the variable storage itself will be 64 KiB in size. That's the way EDK2 makes
-use of it.

Unlike online editing which mostly appends new variable entries each storage
update with this tool drops all deleted or incomplete entries.
