When updating firmware, it is very often that we may want to preserve
few sections, for example vital product data (VPD) including serial
number, calibration data and cache. A firmware updater has to hard-code
the section names that need to be preserved and is hard to maintain.
A better approach is to specify that in FMAP area flags (the `area_flag`
field) using FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE. With this patchset, a FMD parser flag
"PRESERVE" is introduced and will be converted to FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE
when generating FMAP data (by fmap_from_fmd.c).
For example, The FMD statement:
RO_VPD(PRESERVE)@0x0 16k
will generate an FMAP firmware section that:
area_name = "RO_VPD"
area_offset = 0
area_size = 16384
area_flags = FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE
BUG=chromium:936768
TEST=make; boots on x86 "google/eve" and arm "google/kukui" devices
Manually added 'PRESERVE' to some FMD files, and verify (by running
fmap.py) the output coreboot.rom has FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE set

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.

This adds a compiler for a language whose textual representation of flashmap
regions will be used to describe the layout of flash chips that contain more
than just a single CBFS. Direct integration with cbfstool (via a new
command-line switch for the create action) is forthcoming but will be added
separately.
BUG=chromium:461875
TEST=Use Chromium OS's cros_bundle_firmware script on the fmap.dts file for
panther. Using the latter file as a reference, write a corresponding
fmap.fmd file and feed it through fmaptool. Run both binary output files
though the flashmap project's own flashmap_decode utility. Observe only
the expected differences.
