Aaron Durbin 285111f822 cbfstool: Fix removing and adding file with same name
Currently, cbfstool regressed that removing a file from CBFS the space
is marked as empty but the filename is still shown, preventing adding a
file with the same name again. [1]

```
$ echo a > a
$ echo b > b
$ ./util/cbfstool/cbfstool  test.rom create -m x86 -s 1024
Created CBFS (capacity = 920 bytes)
$ ./util/cbfstool/cbfstool test.rom add -f a -n a -t raw
$ ./util/cbfstool/cbfstool test.rom add -f b -n b -t raw
$ cp test.rom test.rom.original
$ ./util/cbfstool/cbfstool test.rom remove  -n
$ diff -up <(hexdump -C test.rom.original) <(hexdump -C test.rom)

$ ./util/cbfstool/cbfstool test.rom add -f c -n c -t raw

$ ./util/cbfstool/cbfstool test.rom print
test.rom: 1 kB, bootblocksize 0, romsize 1024, offset 0x0
alignment: 64 bytes, architecture: x86

Name                           Offset     Type         Size
c                              0x0        raw          2
b                              0x40       raw          2
(empty)                        0x80       null         792
```

So it is “deteled” as the type changed. But the name was not changed to
match the *(empty)* heuristic.

So also adapt the name when removing a file by writing a null byte to
the beginning of the name, so that the heuristic works. (Though remove
doesn't really clear contents.)

```
$ ./util/cbfstool/cbfstool test.rom remove  -n c
$ ./util/cbfstool/cbfstool test.rom print
test.rom: 1 kB, bootblocksize 0, romsize 1024, offset 0x0
alignment: 64 bytes, architecture: x86

Name                           Offset     Type         Size
(empty)                        0x0        null         2
b                              0x40       raw          2
(empty)                        0x80       null         792
```

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * make
 * gcc / g++
   Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot
   does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due
   to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse -
   by generating broken object code.
   Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the
   ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this
   case).
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig' and 'make nconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

  http://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
