Set default U-Boot revision to v2023.01 and rebase patches on top of
that. Upstream kconfig status is a bit unstable, so updating configs
with `make oldconfig` would miss important upstream changes.

For each board, run `make savedefconfig` and `diffconfig -m` at the old
version to get a diff from upstream defconfigs. Fix those affected by
upstream changes, like SYS_TEXT_BASE being renamed to TEXT_BASE. Then
append those to the new version's defconfigs and run `make olddefconfig`
to get updated configs.

<title>u-boot: Add video damage tracking patch series</title>

<content type='text'>
Add a series posted to upstream mailing lists that makes the GRUB
text-mode console faster by implementing video damage tracking [1].
Refresh the config files to include its new VIDEO_DAMAGE Kconfig.

Patch 7/7 upstream has a tiny conflict with "Improve UEFI experience"
series we already have, but it's only in the diff context. No changes
other than fixing that.

Merge all boards into a common "default" tree, currently for v2022.07.
This ends up applying the "Improve UEFI experience on DM_VIDEO" series
to everything, so refresh the configs for the new options.

Boards may want to specify a board-specific U-Boot revision. At the very
least, pseudo-boards for u-boot-libre releases will need to specify their
U-Boot versions somehow.

Copy the existing mechanism from download/coreboot for specifying
build info with board.cfg files. Specify the commit hash for the
'v2021.07' pseudo-board, and 'master' as the default.

<title>Add support for releasing deblobbed u-boot 2020.07 source tarballs</title>

Once the tarball are released, it will enable distributions to use
these tarballs to produce deblobbed u-boot packages.

Note that the produced tarball is not reproducible yet. Because of
that it has to be trusted.

During a release, it's a good idea to sign the uncompressed tarball as
the various compression formats and associated tools make different
tradeoffs.

For instance with xz, xz -9e tends to compress really well with the
the most used xz[1] implementation, and most GNU/Linux users probably
already have it installed, but and the drawbacks is that the format is
very fragile[2].

The lzip format is more suited for long term archiving but its most
packaged implementation[3] is less likely to be already installed by
users than more well known formats like xz, bzip2 or gzip.

Being able to add more compression formats after the release is also
useful, for instance to accommodate different build systems or use
cases (like being able to build u-boot with less dependencies in
distributions like Guix, or building u-boot directly on devices which
don't have enough RAM for xz for instance).
