    build system: Switch to fmap based firmware layout
    
    We still add a master header for compatibility purposes, and the default
    layouts don't cover anything non-coreboot (eg. IFD regions) yet.
    
    The default layouts can be overridden by specifying an fmd file, from
    which the fmap is generated.
    
    Future work:
    - map IFD regions to fmap regions
    - non-x86: build minimalistic trampolines that jump into the first cbfs
      file, so the bootblock can be part of CBFS instead of reserving a
      whole 64K for it.
    - teach coreboot's cbfs code to work without the master header
    - teach coreboot's cbfs code to work on different fmap regions
