as opposed to the current 3-level structure.

recent build system simplifications have enabled
this change, thus:

./build fw coreboot -&gt; ./build roms
./build fw grub -&gt; ./build grub
./build fw serprog -&gt; ./build serprog
./update project release -&gt; ./update release
./update project trees -&gt; ./update trees
./update vendor download -&gt; ./vendor download
./update vendor inject -&gt; ./vendor inject

alper criticised that the commands were too long,
so i made them shorter!

move it all to other files where items are used, and not
used anywhere else. this reduces the size of vendor.sh.

also remove a few redundant variables, or variables that
are not meaningfully used.

a few items have been moved to include/option.sh

<title>build/fw/coreboot: Fix misuse of raw u-boot.bin as payload</title>

The "u-boot.bin" file generated by U-Boot builds is a raw binary. When
adding payloads to a CBFS, we need to use ELF files with add-payload
or manually pass the entry point and load address of the payload binary
with add-flat-binary.

We primarily use the "u-boot.elf" which gets build with the REMAKE_ELF
option, as it also has the necessary device-tree binary that U-Boot
usually needs to work. When the option is not set (e.g. for QEMU), we
need to use the "u-boot" file which is an ELF.

it's sometimes done unconditionally. this change
ensures that it is not repeated needlessly.

i observed otherwise that cbfstool would be
re-built from time to time, even if it was built.

also rename elf/coreboot to something scary

some users were flashing roms built under elf/, which
lack payloads. lbmk builds no-payload roms (and payloads)
under elf/ then inserts them, creating full (flashable)
images under bin/

some users reported build errors. technically, there's
nothing wrong with lbmk but it relies on hostcc, and
hostcc is hit or miss when it comes to cross compiling
32-bit, depending on the build system of whatever project.

lbmk needs to handle cross compilation. for now, i'm just
disabling memtest86plus on non-64-bit hosts.

the script used to be called once per target, now it
handles every target. the grub background image wasn't
being set, so if it changed at build time, it would
stay changed.

keep the default in place for each run, while still
allowing target.cfg files to change it per target.
