for some reason, when the background is in memdisk, inserting
it into cbfs afterward doesn't override, despite this
being the behaviour in grub.cfg

put it in cbfs explicitly, and skip inserting into memdisk

the previous commit changed an mv to a cp. what it hacked
was actually a relic of the vgarom download patch that i
did for t480, before mate got native video init working.

this patch is the better fix. i double checked to be sure,
and nothing was using the files at the copied location.
the _extracted directory under cache gets deleted later on,
so it's perfectly acceptable to keep.

the other alternative would have been to simply change
the path in the sch5545 function to appdir, instead of
the cache dir, but who really cares?

this patch removes bloat from lbmk.

I should have copied the extract directory, in cases
where it appears as filename_extracted/ under cache/,
but I was moving it instead.

Both locations (cache/file/*_extracted/
and vendorfiles/appdir/) get deleted, on every run of
the vendor script, per target, so this is OK.

The only sin is additional use of disk space, for
archives that are mostly very small and get immediately
deleted anyway.

This one lbmk bug, minor though it may be, prevented
the Libreboot 20241205 release, which (since it's now
the 6th of December) will become Libreboot 20241206
instead - and that gives me time to contemplate whether
I want to do one more change that I had planned for the 5th!

<title>vendor.sh: Remove T480 VGA ROM download handling</title>

Libreboot's binary blob reduction policy is crystal clear:

If a blob can be avoided, it must be avoided.

The ThinkPad T480 was using Intel's VGA ROM for graphics
initialisation very briefly, before Mate fixed libgfxinit.

Since libgfxinit is fixed, the Intel VGA ROM is obsolete,
so we should not be handling this at all.

Similarly, the Nvidia ROM handling has been removed, because
Mate is hard-disabling that in the coreboot code anyway, since
the Nvidia dGPU didn't work when tested anyway.

Even if it did, Libreboot's blob policy makes it clear
that Intel graphics with native init from coreboot is to
be the preferred option.

This uses the excellent deguard utility, written by
the excellent Mate Kukri.

A few bugs but it mostly works. Documentation to come
shortly, in lbwww.git.

I'm adding ThinkPad T480 support next, which requires
the new revision of deguard. Mate Kukri changed the way
deguard is used, in a rewrite of the project, so lbmk
has to change too.

Since U-Boot must be inserted at a specific offset, it's
theoretically possible that other files might overlap, but
cbfstool will work around wherever U-Boot was inserted if
it was inserted first; we don't use specific offsets for
the other files.

This is technically a preventative bug fix, but it fixes
a bug that would probably never occur in practise.
