When updating firmware, it is very often that we may want to preserve
few sections, for example vital product data (VPD) including serial
number, calibration data and cache. A firmware updater has to hard-code
the section names that need to be preserved and is hard to maintain.
A better approach is to specify that in FMAP area flags (the `area_flag`
field) using FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE. With this patchset, a FMD parser flag
"PRESERVE" is introduced and will be converted to FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE
when generating FMAP data (by fmap_from_fmd.c).
For example, The FMD statement:
RO_VPD(PRESERVE)@0x0 16k
will generate an FMAP firmware section that:
area_name = "RO_VPD"
area_offset = 0
area_size = 16384
area_flags = FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE
BUG=chromium:936768
TEST=make; boots on x86 "google/eve" and arm "google/kukui" devices
Manually added 'PRESERVE' to some FMD files, and verify (by running
fmap.py) the output coreboot.rom has FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE set

As per discussion with lawyers[tm], it's not a good idea to
shorten the license header too much - not for legal reasons
but because there are tools that look for them, and giving
them a standard pattern simplifies things.
However, we got confirmation that we don't have to update
every file ever added to coreboot whenever the FSF gets a
new lease, but can drop the address instead.
util/kconfig is excluded because that's imported code that
we may want to synchronize every now and then.
