Certain chipsets don't have a memory-mapped boot media
so their code execution for stages prior to DRAM initialization
is backed by SRAM or cache-as-ram. The postcar stage/phase
handles the cache-as-ram situation where in order to tear down
cache-as-ram one needs to be executing out of a backing
store that isn't transient. By current definition, cache-as-ram
is volatile and tearing it down leads to its contents disappearing.
Therefore provide a shim layer, postcar, that's loaded into
memory and executed which does 2 things:
1. Tears down cache-as-ram with a chipset helper function.
2. Loads and runs ramstage.
Because those 2 things are executed out of ram there's no issue
of the code's backing store while executing the code that
tears down cache-as-ram. The current implementation makes no
assumption regarding cacheability of the DRAM itself. If the
chipset code wishes to cache DRAM for loading of the postcar
stage/phase then it's also up to the chipset to handle any
coherency issues pertaining to cache-as-ram destruction.

This patch ports the LZ4 decompression code that debuted in libpayload
last year to coreboot for use in CBFS stages (upgrading the base
algorithm to LZ4's dev branch to access the new in-place decompression
checks). This is especially useful for pre-RAM stages in constrained
SRAM-based systems, which previously could not be compressed due to
the size requirements of the LZMA scratchpad and bounce buffer. The
LZ4 algorithm offers a very lean decompressor function and in-place
decompression support to achieve roughly the same boot speed gains
(trading compression ratio for decompression time) with nearly no
memory overhead.
For now we only activate it for the stages that had previously not been
compressed at all on non-XIP (read: non-x86) boards. In the future we
may also consider replacing LZMA completely for certain boards, since
which algorithm wins out on boot speed depends on board-specific
parameters (architecture, processor speed, SPI transfer rate, etc.).
BRANCH=None
BUG=None
TEST=Built and booted Oak, Jerry, Nyan and Falco. Measured boot time on
Oak to be about ~20ms faster (cutting load times for affected stages
almost in half).

To continue sharing more code between the tools and
coreboot proper provide cbfs parsing logic in commonlib.
A cbfs_for_each_file() function was added to allow
one to act on each file found within a cbfs. cbfs_locate()
was updated to use that logic.

In order to support FSP 1.1 relocation within cbfstool
the relocation code needs to be moved into commonlib.
To that end, move it. The FSP 1.1 relocation code binds
to edk2 UEFI 2.4 types unconditionally which is separate
from the FSP's version binding.

Instead of reaching into src/include and re-writing code
allow for cleaner code sharing within coreboot and its
utilities. The additional thing needed at this point is
for the utilities to provide a printk() declaration within
a <console/console.h> file. That way code which uses printk()
can than be mapped properly to verbosity of utility parameters.
