The bootflow menu is already the default boot command on x86. Switch
arm64 boards to that as well, so instead of booting the first thing we
find, we can easily choose what to boot.

U-Boot on ARM64 also enables the bootflow menu.

We need to initialize the USB subsystem before we can use USB devices
like keyboards and external disks, by running `usb start`. Use the
PREBOOT config option to run the necessary command before U-Boot tries
to automatically boot anything. It's already enabled for boards other
than gru_kevin and gru_bob, so just update those two configs.

Set default U-Boot revision to v2024.10 and rebase patches on top of
that. The video subsystem now has switched to using the 'cyclic'
mechanism, so the code around one of the video patches changed a bit.
x86 boards were already switched to v2024.10. Update U-Boot for the
remaining ARM64 boards as usual:
- Turn old configs into defconfigs (./update trees -s u-boot)
- Save the diff from old upstream defconfig (diffconfig $theirs $ours)
- Update U-Boot revision, rebase patches, and clean old trees
- Prepare new U-Boot tree (./update trees -f u-boot)
- Review the diffconfigs to see if any options were renamed upstream
- Copy over the new upstream defconfigs and apply earlier diff
- Turn new defconfigs into configs (./update trees -l u-boot)

Set default U-Boot revision to v2024.07 and rebase patches on top of
that. One patch that fixes drawing box characters (UTF-8 to CP437) had
an alternative merged, another hack we have to fix regulator issues is
no longer neccessary as the issue is fixed, and my QEMU patches were
merged upstream, so drop these patches. One patch we have to disable
binman images can be replaced by a simpler alternative so drop it too.
Upstream kconfig status is still unstable, so updating configs with
`make oldconfig` would miss important upstream changes, since they rely
on carrying defaults via upstream defconfigs. Update the configs as
such, like before:
- Turn old configs into defconfigs (./update trees -s u-boot)
- Save the diff from old upstream defconfig (diffconfig $theirs $ours)
- Update U-Boot revision, rebase patches, and clean old trees
- Prepare new U-Boot tree (./update trees -f u-boot)
- Review the diffconfigs to see if any options were renamed upstream
- Copy over the new upstream defconfigs and apply earlier diff
- Turn new defconfigs into configs (./update trees -l u-boot)

By default U-Boot stores EFI variables in a ubootefi.var file in
whatever EFI System Partition it finds, which would be a FAT filesystem.
I'm occasionally finding out while testing that my ESPs somehow end up
with a corrupted filesystem, and I'm suspecting it's this.
For now, disable storing EFI environment variables on disk so that
U-Boot doesn't try to manipulate the filesystem.

Enable U-Boot commands to manipulate EFI environment storage, to
self-test EFI implementation, and to run a basic EFI test application.
These are so that we can test and debug EFI functionality easier.

U-Boot upstream is switching to a new code framework for discovering and
booting OSes ("Standard Boot", or "bootstd"). Enable more features for
it, including commands we can use for introspection and debugging.

Normally U-Boot immediately resets the board on a panic. I had run into
"Synchronous Abort"s from shim and rEFInd, and having a traceback in
those cases can be useful. Hang instead of resetting, so the panic
reason stays on the screen.

We should be able to power the board off from U-Boot command line.
Enable the "poweroff" command for gru boards so we can.

U-Boot can keep a "copy" framebuffer to read from, for devices where
reading from hardware framebuffer is expensive. This needs the video
driver to support it. The Rockchip video driver doesn't need or support
it, so this option does nothing on gru boards. Disable it.

U-Boot upstream used to have 16KB for EFI variables, and this was
causing problems with shim. Commit f0236acbc663 ("u-boot: Increase EFI
variable buffer size") fixed this by raising it to 32KB in our builds.
It has now been raised to 64K upstream, so raise it here as well.

For Rockchip boards U-Boot tries to build SPI and MMC images that
require an externally built BL31 file to be provided, and the build
fails otherwise. This is not really as configurable as it should be.
In Libreboot, we only care about the build outputs for U-Boot proper.
There is a BL31 built during our coreboot builds, but using that in
U-Boot builds is a chicken-and-egg problem. Building BL31 outside the
coreboot build and passing it to both projects is possible, but needs
work.
For now, stop trying to build these U-Boot-only images as a workaround,
by removing the binman image descriptions from the device-tree sources.
Additionally, disable in our configs the BINMAN_FDT functionality that
allows using these at runtime as it requires them to be present.

Set default U-Boot revision to v2023.01 and rebase patches on top of
that. Another series about 16x32 fonts was merged upstream, so drop some
now-unnecessary patches we had for that. For the video damage tracking
series, switch to the version I'm trying to upstream.
