cbfs: alternative support for cbfs_load_payload()

In certain situations boot speed can be increased by providing an
alternative implementation to cbfs_load_payload(). The
ALT_CBFS_LOAD_PAYLOAD option allows for the mainboard or chipset to
provide its own implementation.

Booted baskingridge board with alternative and regular
cbfs_load_payload().

help
Either board or southbridge provide an alternative cbfs_load_payload()
implementation. This may be used, for example, if accessing the ROM
through memory-mapped I/O is slow and a faster alternative can be
provided.
