This cuts down on build time, and it will allow libreboot
to remove large chunks of code.

these ifd/gbe configs are just binary-encoded config files,
in a format well-understood. they can easily be opened up
and displayed, using ich9show or ifdtool, and manipulated
by these tools; bincfg can generate them from scratch, and
nvmutil can change mac addresses, for example.

so, do this and remove from lbmk the following:

* ich9utils (which contains ich9gen) - not needed anymore
* code in lbmk for handling ich9gen and insertions; the
  coreboot build system is now used, for this same purpose,
  so remove such code from lbmk

this results in a massive code size reduction (thousands of
lines) in lbmk; smaller when only looking at the build
system, but much larger when you consider that ich9utils
is also removed (about 3k sloc)

don't download it. keep it in lbmk.

libreboot moved to codeberg for git hosting,
and i didn't want to keep lugging around an
extra git repo just for one tiny project.
