binman: Add support for building x86 ROMs
The structure of x86 ROMs is pretty complex. There are various binary blobs to place in the image. Microcode requires special handling so that it is available to very early code and can be used without any memory whatsoever. Add support for the various entry types that are currently needed, along with some tests. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Tested-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>
