In order to support booting a GNU/Linux payload on non x86, the FIT format
should be used, as it is the defacto standard on ARM.
Due to greater complexity of FIT it is not converted to simple ELF format.
Add support for autodecting FIT payloads and add them as new CBFS_TYPE 'fit'.
The payload is included as is, with no special header.
The code can determine the type at runtime using the CBFS_TYPE field.
Support for parsing FIT payloads in coreboot is added in a follow on
commit.
Compression of FIT payloads is not supported, as the FIT sections might be
compressed itself.
Starting at this point a CBFS payload/ can be either of type FIT or SELF.
Tested on Cavium SoC.

In preparation of having FIT payloads, which aren't converted to simple ELF,
rename the CBFS type payload to actually show the format the payload is
encoded in.
Another type CBFS_TYPE_FIT will be added to have two different payload
formats. For now this is only a cosmetic change.

This patch ports the LZ4 decompression code that debuted in libpayload
last year to coreboot for use in CBFS stages (upgrading the base
algorithm to LZ4's dev branch to access the new in-place decompression
checks). This is especially useful for pre-RAM stages in constrained
SRAM-based systems, which previously could not be compressed due to
the size requirements of the LZMA scratchpad and bounce buffer. The
LZ4 algorithm offers a very lean decompressor function and in-place
decompression support to achieve roughly the same boot speed gains
(trading compression ratio for decompression time) with nearly no
memory overhead.
For now we only activate it for the stages that had previously not been
compressed at all on non-XIP (read: non-x86) boards. In the future we
may also consider replacing LZMA completely for certain boards, since
which algorithm wins out on boot speed depends on board-specific
parameters (architecture, processor speed, SPI transfer rate, etc.).
BRANCH=None
BUG=None
TEST=Built and booted Oak, Jerry, Nyan and Falco. Measured boot time on
Oak to be about ~20ms faster (cutting load times for affected stages
almost in half).

It encourages users from writing to the FSF without giving an address.
Linux also prefers to drop that and their checkpatch.pl (that we
imported) looks out for that.
This is the result of util/scripts/no-fsf-addresses.sh with no further
editing.

As per discussion with lawyers[tm], it's not a good idea to
shorten the license header too much - not for legal reasons
but because there are tools that look for them, and giving
them a standard pattern simplifies things.
However, we got confirmation that we don't have to update
every file ever added to coreboot whenever the FSF gets a
new lease, but can drop the address instead.
util/kconfig is excluded because that's imported code that
we may want to synchronize every now and then.
