<title>supermicro x11ssh_f: Use deguard-configured ME image instead of SPS</title>

Using the same ME image as the 3050 Micro.  This fixes the lack of a
backup download URL for the ME and speeds up boot time, since MRC
caching is working with ME (unlike SPS).

Unfortunately, since the MFS partition must be preserved, this does
mean we need a larger ME region than with me_cleaned SPS.

i don't like hyphens in file names, because of how lbmk
has historically handled directories and files in the past;
i've removed a lot of eval statements, to the extent that
it's no longer likely to be a problem (it's barely used now),
but i previously had a problem with using hyphens in config
names.

this design flaw (in lbmk) was fixed ages ago, but i still
maintain this policy. since that time, i use hyphens only.

<title>Add Supermicro X11SSH-F/LN4F port</title>

Surprisingly, SeaBIOS VGA output works (coreboot documentation says it
doesn't).

I'm using a static CMOS option table currently (like most other boards
supported in libreboot), but maybe it would be better to switch to the
CBFS file option table.  The default option table enables
hyperthreading, overriding the compile-time setting.

I'm also using a ME/SPS image extracted from the official BIOS update
for this board.  Unfortunately, https://www.supermicro.com/Bios/* is
excluded from crawlers in robots.txt so it's not in archive.org, so I
haven't been able to find a backup download URL.  I also needed to set
the user-agent for fetching the update to "curl/8.6.0" because the
default user-agent override used by lbmk resulted in a 403 error.
deguard is not required (there's no bootguard on this board).

SPS does not implement CPU replacement detection which means that the
MRC cache does not work and RAM training needs to happen on every
boot.  To avoid this it may be possible to run ME instead of SPS on
this board, but I tried both the ME image used on the OptiPlex 3050
Micro in libreboot and one from the ASRock C236 WSI and they both hung
at "[INFO ] POST: 0x92" (POSTCODE_FSP_MEMORY_INIT).

The memtest86+ build included with libreboot doesn't work with USB
keyboards and this board doesn't have a PS/2 port, which is annoying.

Patch in Gerrit: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/89281
Not working: USB3 ports only work at USB2 speeds.

IFD:
Modified the original by:
- Removing Device Exp2 region (empty anyway)
- Enlarging the BIOS region to use this freed space
- Setting the HAP bit in PCHSTRP55 using a fork of
  me_cleaner: https://github.com/XutaxKamay/me_cleaner

<title>ifd/hppro3500: use truncated ME, enlarge BIOS size</title>

i did:

ifdtool -f layout.txt ifd.bin

changed layout.txt to say this:

00000000:00000fff fd
00019000:007fffff bios
00001000:00018fff me
00fff000:00000fff gbe
00fff000:00000fff pd

then i did:

ifdtool -n layout.txt ifd.bin -O ifd.bin

this was done to the ifd for hp 3500 pro, based on
the 96KB size of the truncated me.bin via me_cleaner,
when downloading vendor files in lbmk.

it's the policy of libreboot that me.bin should always
be shrunk, and the BIOS region enlarged.

in the original HP 3500 PRO patch submitted, the ME region
was larger, with region boundaries like this:

00000000:00000fff fd
00400000:007fffff bios
00001000:003fffff me
00fff000:00000fff gbe
00fff000:00000fff pd

In the above example, you see that the BIOS region is 4MB.

In the new setup, BIOS is about 7.9MB.
