This patch introduces a new coreboot table entry named
"has_external_display" to understand if external display is attached.
This information is useful to prevent graceful shutdown by payload
when the LID is closed but an external display is present.
This piece of the information will be gathered by coreboot and passed
into the payload using this new entry aka external_display because
payload (i.e., deptcharge) doesn't have any other way to determine
if external display is available.
