This commit adds explanatory notes and updates existing t530 and w530 boards to generally align them with the dGPU points and provide signposting for those with and those without dGPU boards. It also adds an additional README in the blobs directory to explain the vbios extraction and building process.
This commit adds support for the t530 and w530 boards to enable dGPUs. dGPU's are required for DisplayPort external displays in the t530 dgpu model, and for both the VGA dn DisplayPort external displays in the W530 (which has two dGPUs, the K1000M and K2000M, hence two boards). The commit does the following:
1. Adds automated extraction scripts for vbios modelled on the me script in the blobs directory (one per board is necessary as it is based on board-specific bios updates).
2. Adds specific boards for the various dGPU models and corresponding coreboot configs.
3. Updates circleci config.yaml to run scripts and test boards.
Tested and working on T530 dgpu and W530 K1000M. dGPU scripts tested on Debian 10 and Ubuntu 21.04
Unify the CONFIG_BOOT_KERNEL_ADD/REOVE parameters for all
Librem boards. Ensure IOMMU disabled for the GPU, and that
duplicated IOMMU params are not passed to the kernel.

Update all Purism Librem boards except the L1UM server
to coreboot 4.15:
- update coreboot version from 4.8.1/4.13 to 4.15
- use purism_blobs module (if not already)
- update board coreboot defconfig files (Librem 13/15)

-CircleCI addition.
-Removal of t530-flash, w530-flash boards, flash scripts and associated coreboot configs (no more legacy boards additions)
This is a merger of #1071, #1072 and #1073 so that test builds are available over CircleCI until osresearch/master CircleCI gets unlocked.
- xx30 legacy boards (x230, x230-flash, t430, t430-flash) now rely also on coreboot 4.13
- DOWNSIDE: x230 and t430 legacy boards now rely on WHIPTAIL (NOT FBWhiptail) to have enough space to fit under 7mb)
- xx20 boards moved to 4.13 (no need of xx20-flash boards here since single SPI boards with 7.5mb useable since blobs scripts are required)
- DOWNSIDE: all xx20 boards now have dropbear deactivated, while still having ethernet driver in.
- qemu-coreboot and qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail switched to coreboot 4.13 WITHOUT TPM SUPPORT (with cryptsetup 2.x support)
- DOWNSIDE:
- coreboot-qemu board CBFS_SIZE=0x700000 -> 0x750000
- coreboot-qemu-fbwhiptail CBFS_SIZE=0x750000 -> 0x780000
- CircleCi build recipe removes 4.8.1 boards altogether
- KGPE-D16 workstation is used as new base build to save workspace layer (we removed one workspace layer)
- Removing one workspace layer will save approx 2 hours of build time on fresh builds
- Removing one coreboot version will save us approx 2 hours of build time on fresh builds
- KGPE-D16 will stay to coreboot 4.11 until forward notice.
- All other board configs SHOULD be built on latest coreboot versions
- all: coreboot NO_POST for all boards
- all: coreboot NO_GFX_INIT (linux payload does the graphic init)
- all: coreboot TPM_MEASURED_BOOT (no more patches under Heads for measured boot)
- all: coreboot DRIVERS_PS2_KEYBOARD (fixes no keyboard on soft reboot and potentially xx30t xx20t fix for random raw keyboard (to be tested)
- all: coreboot removal of DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_5 under some boards
- all: coreboot removal of "loglevel=3" under some linux command line options booting Heads kernel
- all: coreboot removal of DEBUG_SMM_RELOCATION (unneeded)
- all: coreboot INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE and COLLECT_TIMESTAMPS for all boards
- all: coreboot CONSOLE_SERIAL present on all boards
- all: coreboot add VBT
- all: board configs switch to cryptsetup2
xx20 hotp-maximized boards:
- removal of dropbear (not enough space to have htop + dropbear)
txx0 boards coreboot:
- USE_OPTION_TABLE and STATIC_OPTION_TABLE added (todo: check T430 boards optimization and find issue/PR and ammend this commit)
We use 'iommu=igfx_off' for booting the Heads kernel, so use the same for
booting the OS to ensure consistency when kexecing

Added note to KGPE-D16 configs about the current microcode bug, why microcode is not included and encouraging AMD Opteron 6300 series users to make sure their operating system loads microcode.
- update module hash and blobs hash
- drop patches no longer needed; migrate those that remain
- adjust Librem Mini/Mini v2 board configs

* xx30-*-maximized: update flashrom options removing --ifd bios option, keeping whole flash of rom internally. WARNING: ifd needs to be initially unlocked through ifdtool -u on 8mb bottom SPI backup. YOU CANNOT COME FROM 1VYRAIN. IF COMING FROM SKULLS, YOU MUST HAVE RAN OPTIONAL -u OPTION FROM SKULLS. PLEASE UPGRADE ONLY AFTER HAVING A PHYSICAL BACKUP OF BOTH SPI FLASH CHIPS. MORE INFORMATION UNDER https://github.com/osresearch/heads/pull/703. This will guarantee that future flash of produced rom will reflash the ROM totally, where heads make sure of adding users customizations (public key, /etc/config.user) when internally flashed. Unfortunately, if you flash externally, you will have to reinject your public key and readd /etc/config customizations.
* Adding generated bincfg coreboot 4.8.1 patch (merged under coreboot 4.13 and backported here to 4.8.1), resulting in gbe.bin under blobs/xx30/gbe.bin and instructions to replicate in README prior of automation (under repo). Note that MAC under gbe.bin is fixed to DE:AD:C0:FF:EE unless extract.sh script is ran on external backup to keep current user's MAC (Thanks to @Thrilleratplay's contribution!)
* xx30 blobs: add two blobs management scripts for xx30: extract from local backup/download+neuter ME
extract.sh: extract from external backup: gbe.bin, neuter under me.bin and maximize BIOS+reduce ME regions under unlocked ifd.bin.
download_clean_me.sh: download and verify Lenovo latest ME version from website, and drop me.bin in place.
Note: me.bin is 98kb, containing only BUP and ROMP partitions which cannot be modified nor deleted else computer won't boot. As a result, BIOS region is maximized in ifd.bin to 11.5mb and coreboot config takes advantage of that freed space.
* CircleCI: xx30-*-maximized additional step to call download_clean_me.sh prior of building boards so that me.bin is dopped in place. This should be done by users prior of building xx30-*-maximized boards locally, which is imitated in CircleCI builds (look at .circleci/config.yaml for innoextract host added dependency and board buildings. Results on github for each commit).

coreboot module: typo correction (tabs vs spaces)
CircleCI: trying to address "g++: fatal error: Killed signal terminated program cc1plus." happening under coreboot 4.11 and coreboot 4.12 builds
CircleCI: remove past addition to test recommendation from CircleCI: "resource_class: large"
CircleCi: Ok.... lets output dmesg content prior of other logs.... I'm out of ideas. Next step, ask CircleCI for support
At this stage:
- job's "make --load" is supposed to guarantee that the number of thread doesn't exhaust pass of a load of 2 (medium, free class, CircleCI has 32 cores so possibility of a load of 32)
- "--max_old_space_size=4096" in CircleCI environement is supposed to limit memory consumption to 4096Mb of memory, the max of a medium class free tier CircleCI node
CircleCI: remove verbose build (no more V=1), in case of failed build, find all logs modified in last minute and output each of them on console.
coreboot module: implement load average respect inside of problematic CI build for coreboot 4.11+ being killed in the action (32 cores with 4Gb ram get gcc OOM)
coreboot module: replace nproc by number of Gb actually available as number of CPUs, since each thread is expected to have 1Gb of ram.
CircleCI & coreboot config: fix merge conflict rebasing on master
coreboot 4.11 kgpe-d16 vboot patches addendum, credits goes to @Tonux599
Fix merge conflicts and make sure all boards are inside of CircleCI builds. PoC build for #867
