Show it in the bootflow menu

Otherwise, you have to press enter to boot your distro.
With this, a timeout is created. After a number of seconds,
which can be reconfigured, the first option selected will be booted,
when generating a bootflow menu.
The timeout is disabled when you navigate the menu; it only
kicks in if you don't input anything on the keyboard.
More information about how this works is in the U-Boot patches,
within this patch. I've set the timeout to 8 seconds.

Otherwise, you have to press enter to boot, which is unacceptable
for headless operation.
Pressing anything other than enter an an option, such as the arrow
keys, will disable the timeout.

This is a patch from Simon Glass. U-Boot clears the display
when it starts up, but was asking the VESA driver to do the
same, needlessly; this patch avoids the latter.
A further patch is also included, which provides a better
message when jumping into long mode on the SPL (64-bit) target,
dumping it on the serial console instead of using printf.

U-Boot was hanging on hardware, but not Qemu. This is because on
the machines tested, namely the X200 and E6230 laptops supported
in Libreboot, the UART was disabled from coreboot.
This U-Boot patch from Simon Glass works around the issue by
silently disabling the UART when it isn't there. Instead,
output is sent to the display and U-Boot no longer hangs.

It's a new experimental payload in Libreboot, so we may aswell
start with the very latest release of U-Boot.

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.
