Many users report bugs, so I'm reverting lbmk back to only
supporting the rp2040 dongles for the time being. The
documentation will be updated to reflect this.
Pico2 support will be re-added at a later date, once more
testing has been done, and fixes made if necessary.
We were previously not handling picotool at all, and
pico-sdk would download picotool itself, at build time.
This means that the source archive, if created, would
not contain picotool. While not strictly required, for
complete corresponding source, since it's a toolchain
and not the actual pico-serprog firmware, it is my policy
that releases must include full corresponding source code,
when it is feasible to do so.
I must say, I intensely dislike cmake, with such burning
passion; I am thoroughly displeased by how hacky this is,
but it works and now nothing is in my way for a Libreboot
20241206 rev8 release!

this brings support for a new microcontroller platform rp2530.
total number of pico boards supported now: 97
TEST: built them all

replace it with logic that simply uses "." to load
files directly. for this, "vcfg" is added as a variable
in coreboot target.cfg files, referring to a directory
in config/vendor/ containing a file named pkg.cfg, and
this file then contains the same variables as the
erstwhile config/vendor/sources
config/git files are now directories, also containing
pkg.cfg files each with the same variables as before,
such as repository link and commit hash
this change results in a noticeable reduction in code
complexity within the build system.
unified reading of config files: new function setcfg()
added to lib.sh
setcfg checks if a config exists. if a 2nd argument is
passed, it is used as a return value for eval, otherwise
a string calling err is passed. setcfg output is passed
through eval, to set strings based on config; eval must
be used, so that the variables are set within the same
scope, otherwise they'd be set within setcfg which could
lead to some whacky results.
there's still a bit more more to do, but this single change
results in a substantial reduction in code complexity.

don't define it as a "depend" variable in config/git/,
because it means putting the files in a subdirectory of
an existing project was was already then downloaded, and
that means it can't be downloaded first; if the download
of it fails, the old download is left intact.
this bug isn't currently fixed in the build system, at all,
so this and other patches are being made to mitigate it.

this brings the handling of serprog projects in sync
with canoeboot, which relies on the "depend" variable
to get the needed submodules, because cbmk does not
download submodules for these projects
lbmk does download submodules. i want it in sync with
cbmk for this, to make merging easier between both
projects, because i'm going to make a change on both
projects, whereby config/submodules/ is used exclusively

Riku introduced three new patches:
* Add support for multiple chip selects. This allows you to
control multiple chips from the same clip, on systems with
dual flash setups, at least theoretically.
* Enable pull-up on unused chip selects - pull them high so
that chips you connect that to are deactivated while flashing
the target chip. This could be used on thinkpad W541 for
instance, where miso/mosi have 0ohm between them via the two
flash ICs. You could pull the other chip select high.
* Documentation for the above, in the pico-serprog readme.
This goes in tandem with a patch from Riku, present in the
recently integrated flashprog project, namely:
commit ddb6d926783d4f9cbee04c7392718ed8f89daa0e

serprog: Add support for multiple SPI chip selects
This functionality will therefore be present in the next
release of Libreboot.

riku committed a new patch, that fixes build errors
when PICO_DEFAULT_LED_PIN is not defined, on a given
board. in such cases, riku's new patch just disables
handling of the status LED, but LEDs continue to work
on boards where it is defined.

the new revision sets drive level to 12mA instead
of the default 4mA. 16-20mA is the maximum tolerated
level for data lines, on most flash ICs, so 12mA is
relatively safe.
riku did this a while ago, tested on pico pi.

notabug is unreliable, even as a backup.
why, just today, it was offline! all day.
i originally moved libreboot away from notabug,
to codeberg instead, but kept the notabug account
online, and i still push to it when it's online.
however, notabug seems to be in a terminal state
of neglect by its admins, so lbmk should not use it.
