Fix two out-of-bounds reads in lz4 decompression:
1) LZ4_decompress_generic could read one byte past the input buffer when
decoding variable length literals due to a missing bounds check. This
issue was resolved in libpayload, commonlib and cbfstool
2) ulz4fn could read up to 4 bytes past the input buffer when reading a
lz4_block_header due to a missing bounds check. This issue was resolved
in libpayload and commonlib.

This patch ports the LZ4 decompression code that debuted in libpayload
last year to coreboot for use in CBFS stages (upgrading the base
algorithm to LZ4's dev branch to access the new in-place decompression
checks). This is especially useful for pre-RAM stages in constrained
SRAM-based systems, which previously could not be compressed due to
the size requirements of the LZMA scratchpad and bounce buffer. The
LZ4 algorithm offers a very lean decompressor function and in-place
decompression support to achieve roughly the same boot speed gains
(trading compression ratio for decompression time) with nearly no
memory overhead.
For now we only activate it for the stages that had previously not been
compressed at all on non-XIP (read: non-x86) boards. In the future we
may also consider replacing LZMA completely for certain boards, since
which algorithm wins out on boot speed depends on board-specific
parameters (architecture, processor speed, SPI transfer rate, etc.).
BRANCH=None
BUG=None
TEST=Built and booted Oak, Jerry, Nyan and Falco. Measured boot time on
Oak to be about ~20ms faster (cutting load times for affected stages
almost in half).
