To support x86 verstage one needs a working buffer for
vboot. That buffer resides in the cache-as-ram region
which persists across verstage and romstage. The current
assumption is that verstage brings cache-as-ram up
and romstage tears cache-as-ram down. The timestamp,
cbmem console, and the vboot work buffer are persistent
through in both romstage and verstage. The vboot
work buffer as well as the cbmem console are permanently
destroyed once cache-as-ram is torn down. The timestamp
region is migrated. When verstage is enabled the assumption
is that _start is the romstage entry point. It's currently
expected that the chipset provides the entry point to
romstage when verstage is employed. Also, the car_var_*()
APIs use direct access when in verstage since its expected
verstage does not tear down cache-as-ram. Lastly, supporting
files were added to verstage-y such that an x86 verstage
will build and link.

In order to do a verification of romstage on x86 one needs to
run verstage which verifies romstage (and the memory init code).
However, x86 doesn't have SRAM like every other modern SoC so
managing the cache-as-ram region is especially critical.
First move all of the "shared" objects to the beginning of
the .car.data section. This change then ensures that each stage
using car.ld to link has the same consistent view of the addresses
of these fixed-sized objects in cache-as-ram. The CAR_GLOBALs can
be unique per stage. However, these variables are expected to have
a value of zero at the start of each stage. In order to allow a
stage to provide those semantics outside of the initial cache-as-arm
setup routine add _car_global_start and _car_global_end symbols.
Those symbols can be used to clear the CAR_GLOBALs for that stage.
Note that the timestamp region can't be moved out similarly to the
pre-ram cbmem console because the object storage of the timestamp
cache is used *after* cache-as-ram is torn down to indicate if the
cache should be used or not. Therefore, that timestamp needs to
migrated to ram. A logic change in src/lib/timestamp.c could
alleviate this requirement, but that task wasn't tackled in this
patch.

To reduce file clutter merge romstage.ld and ramstage.ld
into a single memlayout.ld. The naming is consistent with
other architectures and chipsets for their linker script
names. The cache-as-ram linking rules are put into a separate
file such that other rules can be applied for future verstage
support.
