This patch adds a new section to the coding style which codifies
existing practices about how to handle errors and how to use the die()
and assert() macros. Also clean up some references to Linux-specific
facilities that do not exist in coreboot in the adjacent function return
type guidelines, and add a small blurb of documentation to the
definition of the assert() macro itself.

While the fall through comment is sufficient for gcc to notice that the
fall-through is intentional, clang requires a special attribute which
also works for gcc. Update the documentation to use this attribute
instead of the comment.

This patch adds a section to the coding style that explicitly clarifies
the use of GCC extensions in coreboot (which has been long-standing
practice anyway), and expressly allows their use.

This change mostly changes links that were identified as broken by
the 'website_scans' jenkins job.
There were some links that seem to be up at times, but that are
identified by link-checker as broken because of SSL issues.
At least one other link was changed to point to archive.org so
that it doesn't break at some point in the future. We should
probably try to make sure that everything is archived there and
point to those versions when possible.
There are still lots more links to do.

The coding style doc isn't short, so scrap that, and it's specific to
the C parts of our tree, so add that.

This patch adds a bit of a "preamble" to the coding style to provide
guideance on how it should be applied and how style questions that
aren't mentioned should be handled.

This patch is trying to address some of the concerns raised in CB:50247
after the patch had landed. The preference for alphabetized headers was
just supposed to discourage leaving headers completely unordered, and
wasn't intended to disallow other intentional include orderings such as
grouping local includes after system ones or specific ordering
constraints that exist for technical reasons. This patch adds a few more
sentences to try to clarify that.
