The current MRC cache update process is slow (28 ms on nissa), because
cbmem is not cached in romstage. Specifically, the new MRC data returned
by the FSP is stored in the FSP reserved memory in cbmem, so operations
on the new data (computing the checksum, comparing to the old data) are
slow.
Replace the data checksum in the MRC header with a hash, and compare
hashes instead of comparing the full data. This has two benefits:
1. The xxhash function is faster than computing an IP checksum (4 ms vs
14 ms on uncached data on nissa).
2. There's no need to memcmp() the full MRC data, which takes 14 ms on
nissa.

BUG=b:242667207
TEST=Check that MRC caching still works as expected on nissa. Corrupt
the MRC cache and check that memory is retrained.
