Duncan Laurie 36e6c6f8d2 fw_config: Add firmware configuration interface
This change introduces a new top-level interface for interacting with a
bitmask providing firmware configuration information.

This is motivated by Chromebook mainboards that need to support multiple
different configurations at runtime with the same BIOS.  In these
devices the Embedded Controller provides a bitmask that can be broken
down into different fields and each field can then be broken down into
different options.

The firmware configuration value could also be stored in CBFS and this
interface will look in CBFS first to allow the Embedded Controller value
to be overridden.

The firmware configuration interface is intended to easily integrate
into devicetree.cb and lead to less code duplication for new mainboards
that make use of this feature.

BUG=b:147462631
TEST=this provides a new interface that is tested in subsequent commits
