This was a problem when I did it before, because individual
target builds weren't automatically re-compiled when needed.
The recent design improvements in lbmk enable this to be
done again.
Cached images in elf/ have no payloads, so they are a liability,
therefore they are padded by one byte to prevent flashing. This
solves the problem that the previous caching had.
With this change, modifying payloads can be tested without
needing to re-build coreboot each time.
The cached coreboot builds are also automatically re-built when
needed, which is another improvement this time, compared to
the last time coreboot builds were cached in this manner.

stub it from the trees script. the way it works now,
there is less code in the build system.
./build roms
this is no longer a thing
./build roms serprog
this is also no longer a thing. instead, do:
./update trees -b coreboot targetnamehere
./update trees -b pico-serprog
./update trees -b stm32-vserprog
the old commands still works, which causes the new
commands to run
coreboot roms now appear in elf/, not bin/, as before,
but those images now contain payloads.
NOTE: to contradict the above: ./build roms is no
longer a thing, in that it's now deprecated, but
backward compatibility is present for now. it will
be removed in a future release.
./build roms list also still works! it will do:
./update trees -b coreboot list
also:
./update trees -b grub list
this is now possible too
if a target "list" is provided, for multi-tree sources,
the targets are shown.
there is another difference: seagrub roms are now seagrub_,
instead of seabios_withgrub.
seabios-only roms are no longer provided, where grub is also
enabled; only seagrub is used. the user can easily remove
the bootorder file, if they want seabios to not try grub first.

certain code checks for build.list, to skip it, for
example in items()
we already use config/data/grub to store grub config data
that applied to all trees
create these directories too:
config/data/coreboot
config/data/u-boot
config/data/seabios
move the respective build.list files in here, and also
to config/data/grub
now multi-tree projects contain, per directory, just the
target.cfg file and the patches directory. this is much
cleaner, because some of the logic can be simplified more
