This reverts commit 5b4c9158e5a79f8d7e776c8c4ece69dda5aa8690.

On coreboot for example, as Mate has told me, if you're
making Kconfig changes and re-compiling, sometimes the
actual image that you build might still have the old one
in it, due to how coreboot's build system works.
To mitigate this, you can just always run distclean before
doing the build, but lbmk was doing just clean.
In practise, we did not find any issues, but this change should
be harmless, and might prevent such issues in the future. It's
even possible that we might have already encountered this before
and not realised, and we were just lucky that no noticeable issues
were caused.
It's *also* possible that the reverse is true: an issue that
was previously covered up, then that issue will now be exposed.
However, if that turns out to be true, then that is good because
we are exposing said bugs and then we will know to fix them!
Anyway, the variable in target.cfg is:
cleancmd="whatever_you_want"
e.g.
cleancmd="distclean"
You may also specify this in global mkhelper.cfg files, per
project; I've already done this for SeaBIOS, coreboot
and U-Boot, since all of these use Kconfig files.

NOTE: Support added for xarch target x86_64-elf,
but U-Boot failed to build with this error:
OBJCOPY lib/efi_loader/helloworld.efi
x86_64-elf-objcopy: lib/efi_loader/helloworld_efi.so: invalid bfd target
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.lib:476: lib/efi_loader/helloworld.efi] Error 1
Since I'm building U-Boot for x86_64 *on* an x86-64
host, and since that is currently the recommended type
of machine to use for lbmk development, and since the
other x86 payloads currently don't cross compile anyway,
this is an acceptable compromise for now. This is because
at present, I'm not making U-Boot the primary payload on x86,
instead preferring to chain it from GRUB and SeaBIOS.
The target.cfg file for x86 u-boot shows xarch/xtree commented.
Uncomment these to compile on crossgcc instead of hostcc.
I mention 64-bit because I initially did this first, but decided
to do 32-bit first. I'll work on the 64-bit one next (SPL).
It's only enabled in QEMU for now.

certain code checks for build.list, to skip it, for
example in items()
we already use config/data/grub to store grub config data
that applied to all trees
create these directories too:
config/data/coreboot
config/data/u-boot
config/data/seabios
move the respective build.list files in here, and also
to config/data/grub
now multi-tree projects contain, per directory, just the
target.cfg file and the patches directory. this is much
cleaner, because some of the logic can be simplified more
