Using git pull had several issues:
- It didn't necessarily fetch the required tags
- It doesn't work for diverging histories

The u-boot-libre tarball contents' mtimes are an unconventional value
due to timezone confusion. For reproducibility, timestamps like these
are usually set by a SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH which is respected by both
coreboot and U-Boot. Use it in the u-boot-libre release script as well,
and properly set the mtimes to the Unix epoch when it's not defined.

The u-boot-libre release script copies the blobs list into the release
as the deblob script, presumably due to a copy-paste error. Fix it to
correctly copy the generated deblob script.

The checksums in tests/u-boot-libre.sha512 do not match the tarballs
generated by this script when ran on a different timezone, e.g. UTC+3.
Explicitly specify a timezone for the tar command that makes the
tarballs match the checksums.

Without having python-is-python3 installed, on recent PureOS 10
(byzantium) with at least the d510mo target, we have the following
build failure:
$ ./build boot roms d510mo

Compiling whole program out/vgaccode16.raw.s
Fixup VGA rom assembler
make: python: No such file or directory

Without python-is-python3, the build also fails on recent
versions of Trisquel and Debian.

I was running into a race condition when rebuilding seabios with a high cpu count,
resulting in failure with this error message:
cc1: fatal error: can't open 'out/src/asm-offsets.s' for writing: No such file or directory
Performing the silentoldconfig step before the full make step seems to resolve the failure.
When running ./download all, we have the following error:
resources/scripts/download/coreboot: Line 52: $1 is not set.
The ./download all command was broken by the following commit:

individual download scripts).

This doesn't change the existing usage of the scripts:
- For the Coreboot script, before this change, all arguments that were
passed were considered as board to download the Coreboot source code
for.
Here we added the '--help' and '--list-boards' arguments, so it
should not be an issue as it is extremely unlikely that a board
would be called '--help' or '--list-boards'.
- All the other scripts don't use any arguments so passing --help
should not conflict with the existing usage.

Many people using FSDG compliant distributions or wanting to use one
are already familiar with linux-libre. This change renames the
resulting tarball to u-boot-libre to make it easier for people to
understand the goal of this tarball.
In addition we also rename the version from v2021.07 (which is the git
tag corresponding to the release) to 2021.07 as u-boot upstream
tarballs use that.
The revision wasn't bumped as we didn't have any releases of
u-boot-libre yet.

Once the tarball are released, it will enable distributions to use
these tarballs to produce deblobbed u-boot packages.
Note that the produced tarball is not reproducible yet. Because of
that it has to be trusted.
During a release, it's a good idea to sign the uncompressed tarball as
the various compression formats and associated tools make different
tradeoffs.
For instance with xz, xz -9e tends to compress really well with the
the most used xz[1] implementation, and most GNU/Linux users probably
already have it installed, but and the drawbacks is that the format is
very fragile[2].
The lzip format is more suited for long term archiving but its most
packaged implementation[3] is less likely to be already installed by
users than more well known formats like xz, bzip2 or gzip.
Being able to add more compression formats after the release is also
useful, for instance to accommodate different build systems or use
cases (like being able to build u-boot with less dependencies in
distributions like Guix, or building u-boot directly on devices which
don't have enough RAM for xz for instance).

tianocore is a liability for the libreboot project. it's a bloated mess, and
unreliable, broken on many boards, and basically impossible to audit.
i don't trust tianocore, so i'm removing it.
