[coreboot] Removing microcode updates from blobs

[Gabe Black]

Defaults should work. Why should I have to know about a magic option that

to work that badly, you should also be motivated enough to find the magic
switch that will break it. Breaking people by default in mysterious and
unpredictable ways is a terrible idea.
