drivers/intel/fsp2_0: Add native implementation for FSP Debug Handler
This patch implements coreboot native debug handler to manage the FSP event messages. `FSP Event Handlers` feature introduced in FSP to generate event messages to aid in the debugging of firmware issues. This eliminates the need for FSP to directly write debug messages to the UART and FSP might not need to know the board related UART port configuration. Instead FSP signals the bootloader to inform it of a new debug message. This allows the coreboot to provide board specific methods of reporting debug messages, example: legacy UART or LPSS UART etc. This implementation has several advantages as: 1. FSP relies on XIP `DebugLib` driver even while printing FSP-S debug messages, hence, without ROM being cached, post `romstage` would results into sluggish boot with FSP debug enabled. This patch utilities coreboot native debug implementation which is XIP during FSP-M and relocatable to DRAM based resource for FSP-S. 2. This patch simplifies the FSP DebugLib implementation and remove the need to have serial port library. Instead coreboot `printk` can be used for display FSP serial messages. Additionally, unifies the debug library between coreboot and FSP. 3. This patch is also useful to get debug prints even with FSP non-serial image (refer to `Note` below) as FSP PEIMs are now leveraging coreboot debug library instead FSP `NULL` DebugLib reference for release build. 4. Can optimize the FSP binary size by removing the DebugLib dependency from most of FSP PEIMs, for example: on Alder Lake FSP-M debug binary size is reduced by ~100KB+ and FSP-S debug library size is also reduced by ~300KB+ (FSP-S debug and release binary size is exactly same with this code changes). The total savings is ~400KB for each FSP copy, and in case of Chrome AP firmware with 3 copies, the total savings would be 400KB * 3 = ~1.2MB. Note: Need to modify FSP source code to remove `MDEPKG_NDEBUG` as compilation flag for release build and generate FSP binary with non-NULL FSP debug wrapper module injected (to allow FSP event handler to execute even with FSP non-serial image) in the final FSP.fd. BUG=b:225544587 TEST=Able to build and boot brya. Also, verified the FSP debug log is exactly same before and with this code change.
