coreboot: add imd library
The imd (internal memory database) library provides a way to track memory regions by assigning ids to each region. The implementation is a direct descendant of dynamic cbmem. The intent is to replace the existing mechanisms which do similar things: dynamic cbmem, stage cache, etc. Differences between dynamic cbmem and imd: - All structures/objects are relative to one another. There are no absolute pointers serialized to memory. - Allow limiting the size of the idm. i.e. provide a maximum memory usage. - Allow setting the size of the root structure which allows control of the number of allocations to track.
