The cbfstool handling of new-style FMAP-driven "partitioned" images
originally disallowed the use of x86-style top-aligned addresses with
the add.* and layout actions because it wasn't obvious how they should
work, especially since the normal addressing is done relative to each
individual region for these types of images. Not surprisingly,
however, the x86 portions of the build system make copious use of
top-aligned addresses, so this allows their use with new images and
specifies their behavior as being relative to the *image* end---not
the region end---just as it is for legacy images.

The buffer API that cbfstool uses to read and write files only directly supports
one-shot operations on whole files. This adds an intermediate partitioned_file
module that sits on top of the buffer system and has an awareness of FMAP
entries. It provides an easy way to get a buffer for an individual region of a
larger image file based on FMAP section name, as well as incrementally write
those smaller buffers back to the backing file at the appropriate offset. The
module has two distinct modes of operation:
- For new images whose layout is described exclusively by an FMAP section, all
the aforementioned functionality will be available.
- For images in the current format, where the CBFS master header serves as the
root of knowledge of the image's size and layout, the module falls back to a
legacy operation mode, where it only allows manipulation of the entire image
as one unit, but exposes this support through the same interface by mapping
the region named SECTION_NAME_PRIMARY_CBFS ("COREBOOT") to the whole file.
The tool is presently only ported onto the new module running in legacy mode:
higher-level support for true "partitioned" images will be forthcoming. However,
as part of this change, the crusty cbfs_image_from_file() and
cbfs_image_write_file() abstractions are removed and replaced with a single
cbfs_image function, cbfs_image_from_buffer(), as well as centralized image
reading/writing directly in cbfstool's main() function. This reduces the
boilerplate required to implement each new action, makes the create action much
more similar to the others, and will make implementing additional actions and
adding in support for the new format much easier.
BUG=chromium:470407
TEST=Build panther and nyan_big coreboot.rom images with and without this patch
and diff their hexdumps. Ensure that no differences occur at different locations
from the diffs between subsequent builds of an identical source tree. Then flash
a full new build onto nyan_big and watch it boot normally.
