Vladimir Serbinenko e4c657c4af Do not export variables to GRUB build
Variables in coreboot and not in line with GRUB ones. E.g. HOSTCC is both
HOST_CC and BUILD_CC for GRUB (consult INSTALL for more details) and
what coreboot calls CC is TARGET_CC for GRUB.

Current code plugs this by defining variables explicitly but it has a nasty
effect that make stops caring about flags added in makefile itself. Undef
as many variables as possible but still pass them to configure for them to
have correct effect and keep CC assignment as my make version doesn't undefine
it even when instructed to do so.

Tested with qemu.

Vladimir Serbinenko 113a366848 Add GRUB2 payload to build system
Since a long time GRUB 2 is a viable payload alternative to SeaBIOS and
FILO. So make it easy for coreboot users to use GRUB 2 as a payload by
integrating it into coreboot’s build system, so it can be selected in
Kconfig.

As the last GRUB 2 release 2.00 is too old and has several bugs when
used as a coreboot payload only allow to build GRUB 2 master until a new
GRUB release is done. The downside is, that accidental breakage in
GRUB’s upstream does not affect coreboot users.

Currently the GRUB 2 payload is built with the default modules which
results in an uncompressed size of around 730 kB. Compressed it has a
size of 340 kB, so it should be useable with 512 kB flash ROMs.

Tested with QEMU.
