Put the FMAP FMAP region right above the coreboot CBFS region.
The other regions like RW_MRC_CACHE and CONSOLE often have alignment
requirements so it makes sense to put those on top. This also
simplifies the code the generate the default fmap a little.

This automatically generates an FMAP region for the MRC_CACHE driver
which is easier to handle than a cbfsfile.
Adds some spaces and more comments to Makefile.inc to improve
readability.
Tested on Thinkpad x200 with some proof of concept patches.

If CONSOLE_SPI_FLASH config is enabled, we write the cbmem
messages to the 'CONSOLE' area in FMAP which allows us to grab the
log when we read the flash.
This is useful when you don't have usb debugging, and
UART lines are hard to find. Since a failure to boot would
require a hardware flasher anyways, we can get the log
at the same time.
This feature should only be used when no alternative is
found and only when we can't boot the system, because
excessive writes to the flash is not recommended.
This has been tested on purism/librem13 v2 and librem 15 v3 which
run Intel Skylake hardware. It has not been tested on other archs
or with a driver other than the fast_spi.

We still add a master header for compatibility purposes, and the default
layouts don't cover anything non-coreboot (eg. IFD regions) yet.
The default layouts can be overridden by specifying an fmd file, from
which the fmap is generated.
Future work:
- map IFD regions to fmap regions
- non-x86: build minimalistic trampolines that jump into the first cbfs
file, so the bootblock can be part of CBFS instead of reserving a
whole 64K for it.
- teach coreboot's cbfs code to work without the master header
- teach coreboot's cbfs code to work on different fmap regions
