build: List all Kconfigs in CBFS `config` file, compress it
The coreboot build system automatically adds a `config` file to CBFS that lists the exact Kconfig configuration that this image was built with. This is useful to reproduce a build after the fact or to check whether support for a specific feature is enabled in the image. However, the file is currently generated using the `savedefconfig` command to Kconfig, which generates the minimal .config file that is needed to produce the required config in a coreboot build. This is fine for reproduction, but bad when you want to check if a certain config was enabled, since many configs get enabled by default or pulled in through another config's `select` statement and thus don't show up in the defconfig. This patch tries to fix that second use case by instead including the full .config instead. In order to save some space, we can remove all comments (e.g. `# CONFIG_XXX is not set`) from the file, which still makes it easy to test for a specific config (if it's in the file you can extract the right value, if not you can assume it was set to `n`). We can also LZMA compress it since this file is never read by firmware itself and only intended for later re-extraction via cbfstool, which always has LZMA support included. On a sample Trogdor device the existing (uncompressed) `config` file takes up 519 bytes in CBFS, whereas the new (compressed) file after this patch will take up 1832 bytes -- still a small amount that should hopefully not break the bank for anyone.

Saying Y here will increase the image size by 2-3KB.
- You can use the following command to easily list the options:
+ You can then use cbfstool to extract the config from a final image:
- grep -a CONFIG_ coreboot.rom

Alternatively, you can also use cbfstool to print the image
contents (including the raw 'config' item we're looking for).
