We used cbfstool from coreboot 4.13, because it was the
last version to work with the particular format used
for stage files, before the CBFS standard changed in newer
releases of cbfstool.
When I added this board to Libreboot, it was source-only at
first so it didn't matter. I didn't want to do a standalone
cbfstool binary, in case some people decided to use that one
on newer boards, which would cause all sorts of issues.
So I bodged it and just included an import of coreboot 4.13.
Well, the cbfstool from coreboot 4.11, as used for FAM15H
AMD boards, is compatible. I checked the code diff between
the two, and there is no meaningful difference.
I've tested this, and it works, since the last release or
two now includes 820 G2 images, so I was able to use those
with ./mk inject, to verify whether the refcode file is
still grabbed properly. We need the refcode to handle MRC
on Broadwell platform, but we extract it from an old Google
Chromebook image, that uses the old CBFS stage file layout.
This change solves my problem: the problem was that releases
are bloated further, due to including this extra coreboot
version. This should reduce the size of the next release
considerably, especially after decompressing the tarball.

replace it with logic that simply uses "." to load
files directly. for this, "vcfg" is added as a variable
in coreboot target.cfg files, referring to a directory
in config/vendor/ containing a file named pkg.cfg, and
this file then contains the same variables as the
erstwhile config/vendor/sources
config/git files are now directories, also containing
pkg.cfg files each with the same variables as before,
such as repository link and commit hash
this change results in a noticeable reduction in code
complexity within the build system.
unified reading of config files: new function setcfg()
added to lib.sh
setcfg checks if a config exists. if a 2nd argument is
passed, it is used as a return value for eval, otherwise
a string calling err is passed. setcfg output is passed
through eval, to set strings based on config; eval must
be used, so that the variables are set within the same
scope, otherwise they'd be set within setcfg which could
lead to some whacky results.
there's still a bit more more to do, but this single change
results in a substantial reduction in code complexity.
