sb/intel/common/firmware: Add Intel ME/TXE firmware check
Ensure that the provided ME/TXE firmware is valid, using the check capabilities of me_cleaner. me_cleaner checks that the fundamental partition is available and it has a correct signature. The checks performed by me_cleaner aren't exhaustive, but they should find at least whether the user has provided an empty or corrupted firmware. me_cleaner has been tested on all the ME (6-11.6) and TXE (1-3) firmwares available here [1], and it hasn't reported any false positive.
