On platforms where the boot media can be updated externally, e.g.
using a BMC, add the possibility to enable writes in SMM only. This
allows to protect the BIOS region even without the use of vboot, but
keeps SMMSTORE working for use in payloads. Note that this breaks
flashconsole, since the flash becomes read-only.
Tested on Asrock B85M Pro4 and HP 280 G2, SMM BIOS write protection
works as expected, and SMMSTORE can still be used.

SPI_WRITE_PROTECTION_REBOOT seems to be a Winbond thing, other vendors
such as Macronix only support permanent protection but conditional on
the WP# pin state.

Allow to write protect only the WP_RO region in case of enabled VBOOT.
One can either lock the boot device in VERSTAGE early if VBOOT is enabled,
or late in RAMSTAGE. Both options have their downsides as explained below.
Lock early if you don't trust the code that's stored in the writeable
flash partition. This prevents write-protecting the MRC cache, which
is written in ramstage. In case the contents of the MRC cache are
corrupted this can lead to system instability or trigger unwanted code
flows inside the firmware.
Lock late if you trust the code that's stored in the writeable
flash partition. This allows write-protecting the MRC cache, but
if a vulnerability is found in the code of the writeable partition
an attacker might be able to overwrite the whole flash as it hasn't
been locked yet.

Introduce boot media protection settings and use the existing
boot_device_wp_region() function to apply settings on all
platforms that supports it yet.
Also remove the Intel southbridge code, which is now obsolete.
Every platform locks the SPIBAR in a different stage.
For align up with the common mrc cache driver and lock after it has been
written to.
Tested on Supermicro X11SSH-TF. The whole address space is write-protected.
