Most GNU Boot users are interested in running GNU/Linux or BSD
operating systems. And the way to install software on these
operating systems is through a package manager. So most users and
contributors already know the package manager abstraction.
So referring to packages instead of options makes it easier to
understand what the script is doing.

this is cherry-picked from osbmk. the cherry-pick was
performed by i, leah rowe. this is adapted from shmalebx's
patch there, in osboot
specifically, these patches from osbmk are being imported:
327a39ef058d5385bf8c1a1b09bac8db6a51b016

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.

this is forked from the "libre" branch in osboot, which is itself a libre,
deblobbed fork of osboot, a blobbed up fork of libreboot
libreboot needed to be purged clean. this is the new libreboot development
repository. the old one has been abandoned
