it doesn't really make sense for them to be under
blobs/ - nominally, they are blobs, but they are
well-understood data files containing config data,
that is easily parsed by tools like ich9show or
ifdtool (and tools like bincfg or nvmutil)
blobs/ has been re-purposed: this directory no longer
exists in lbmk, but it is created (and on .gitignore)
when needed, by blobutil
thus, the blobs/ directory shall only contain vendor
files, and only those files that libreboot scrubs from
releases. therefore, build/release/src can (and has
been) simplified; it currently copies just the ifd and
gbe files from blobs/, selectively, and this logic is
quite error prone, requiring maintenance. now, the
build/release/src script simply copies config/ (which
only ever contains distributable files) and entirely
ignores the blobs/ directory
the blob download script already creates the required
directory, except for the sch5545 download; this is
now fixed
lbmk code size is slightly smaller, due to this patch

a follow-up patch will make use of these, rather than ich9gen,
and ich9gen will be deleted.
these files were in fact generated *by* ich9gen.
coreboot has ifdtool and bincfg, the latter of which can
generate both ifd and gbe files for ich9m. that, and nvmutil
which is part of libreboot, can change gbe mac addresses.
i was going to replace ich9gen with a script that would run
bincfg, ifdtool and nvmutil, to greatly reduce code size,
because ich9gen is about 3k sloc.
however, in practise we would always generate the same ifd
config, and basically only change the mac address if that's
what the user wants; nvmutil can already do that just fine.
so, just include the binaries directly.
