2018-01-23util/*: Fix final newlines in scriptsAlex Thiessen
Some script files under the `util` directory have no final newline or multiple final newlines. This is fixed so that an adapted `util/lint/lint-extended-015-final-newlines` does not bark at them anymore.

2017-03-02util/me_cleaner: Pull the latest changes from upstreamNicola Corna
Relevant changes (commit 250b2ec): * Fix a bug for ME6 Ignition images. * Fix signature checking for ME11 and later. * Add command line arguments. * Add an option to relocate the FTPR partition to the top of the ME region, recovering most of the ME region space. * Print the image minimum size. * Add write boundary checks, to prevent writes on other regions in case of bugs. The new changes have been tested on multiple platforms by the me_cleaner users. They have been tested also on the author's X220T with coreboot, where the ME region has been shrinked up to 84 kB without any issue.

2017-01-25util: Add me_cleanerNicola Corna
me_cleaner is a tool to strip down Intel ME/TXE images by removing all the non-fundamental code, while keeping the ME/TXE image valid and suitable for booting the system. The remaining code (ROMP and BUP modules) is the one responsible for the very basic initialization of the ME/TXE subsystem and can't be removed. This tool exploits the fact that: * Each ME/TXE partition is signed individually and it is possible to remove both the partition and the signature. * The ME/TXE modules are not signed directly, instead they are hashed and the list of their hashes is hashed again and signed: this means that modifying a module doesn't invalidate the signature, but only the hash of that single module. * The modules hashes are checked only when the corresponding module needs to be executed. * The system can boot after the execution of the first module (BUP, inside the FTPR partition), even if the subsequent stages fail. Currently me_cleaner works on every Intel platform with Intel ME or Intel TXE with the following limitations: * Doesn't work when Intel Boot Guard is set in Verified Boot mode. * Doesn't fully work on Nehalem yet. * On Skylake and later generations, since the partitions' internal structure has changed, me_cleaner leaves intact the FTPR partition, removing all the the other partitions. This tool has been tested on multiple platforms and architectures by different users, and seems to be stable.
