[coreboot] SeaBIOS and CBFS floppy images

It is now possible to embed an image of a floppy into a CBFS flash
file and then boot from that image with SeaBIOS.

I've used this to boot FreeDOS directly from flash on my epia-cn.  An
lzma compressed bootable FreeDOS floppy uses about 95K (for the base
kernel and command interpreter).

More information is available on the Coreboot SeaBIOS page:
