out a suitable address to put a XIP stage to.
Specifically, you pass it the file (to get its filesize), its filename
(as the header has a variable length that depends on it), and the
granularity requirement it has to fit in (for XIP).
The granularity is MTRR-style: when you request 0x10000, cbfstool looks
for a suitable place in a 64kb-aligned 64kb block.
cbfstool simply prints out a hex value which is the start address of a
suitably located free memory block. That value can then be used with
cbfs add-stage to store the file in the ROM image.
It's a two-step operation (instead of being merged into cbfs add-stage)
because the image must be linked twice: First, with some bogus, but safe
base address (eg. 0) to figure out the target address (based on file
size). Then a second time at the target address.
The work flow is:
- link file
- cbfstool locate
- link file again
- cbfstool add-stage.

supports fixed location files. Some parts are salvaged
from the pre-commit version (esp. stage and payload creation),
others are completely rewritten (eg. the main loop that handles
file addition)
Also adapt newconfig (we don't need cbfs/tools anymore) and fix
some minor issues in the cbfstool-README.
