payloads/external/SeaBIOS: Allow setting buffers below 0xC0000

Add the option to coreboot to set the SeaBIOS buffers below 0xC0000.
This is a requirement on the Intel Rangeley processor
because it is designed so that only the processor can write
the higher memory areas.  This prevents USB and SATA from bus-mastering
into the buffers when they're set in the typical 0xE0000 area.

This will be set to Y unless defaulted to N by the mainboard or
chipset.

Push the SeaBIOS buffers down to 0x90000 segment for Mohon Peak

Use the "Upper Memory Block" area (0xc0000-0xf0000) for internal
"low memory" allocations. If this is not selected, the memory is
instead allocated from the "9-segment" (0x90000-0xa0000).
This is not typically needed, but may be required on some platforms
to allow USB and SATA buffers to be written correctly by the
hardware. In general, if this is desired, the option will be
set to 'N' by the chipset Kconfig.

The Avoton/Rangeley chip does not allow devices to write into the 0xe000
segment. This means that USB/SATA devices will not work in SeaBIOS unless
we put the SeaBIOS buffer area down in the 0x9000 segment.
