Memlayout is a mechanism to define memory areas outside the normal
program segment constructed by the linker. Therefore, it generally
doesn't make sense to relocate memlayout symbols when the program is
relocated. They tend to refer to things that are always in one specific
spot, independent of where the program is loaded.
This hasn't really hurt us in the past because the use case we have for
rmodules (ramstage on x86) just happens to not really need to refer to
any memlayout-defined areas at the moment. But that use case may come up
in the future so it's still worth fixing.
This patch declares all memlayout-defined symbols as ABSOLUTE() in the
linker, which is then reflected in the symbol table of the generated
ELF. We can then use that distinction to have rmodtool skip them when
generating the relocation table for an rmodule. (Also rearrange rmodtool
a little to make the primary string table more easily accessible to the
rest of the code, so we can refer to symbol names in debug output.)
A similar problem can come up with userspace unit tests, but we cannot
modify the userspace relocation toolchain (and for unfortunate
historical reasons, it tries to relocate even absolute symbols). We'll
just disable PIC and make those binaries fully static to avoid that
issue.

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.

With the previous ELF stage extract support the resulting
ELF files wouldn't handle rmodules correctly in that the
rmodule header as well as the relocations were a part of
the program proper. Instead, try an initial pass at
converting the stage as if it was an rmodule first. If it
doesn't work fall back on the normal ELF extraction.

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.

The current implementation of creating rmodules relies
on invoking the linker in a certain manner with the
relocations overlaid on the BSS section. It's not really
surprising that the linker doesn't always behave the way
one wants depending on the linker used and the architecture.
Instead, introduce rmodtool which takes an ELF file as an
input, parses it, and creates a new ELF file in the format
the rmodule loader expects.
