Add a "locate" function cbfstool, which helps you find

out a suitable address to put a XIP stage to.

Specifically, you pass it the file (to get its filesize), its filename
(as the header has a variable length that depends on it), and the
granularity requirement it has to fit in (for XIP).
The granularity is MTRR-style: when you request 0x10000, cbfstool looks
for a suitable place in a 64kb-aligned 64kb block.

cbfstool simply prints out a hex value which is the start address of a
suitably located free memory block. That value can then be used with
cbfs add-stage to store the file in the ROM image.

It's a two-step operation (instead of being merged into cbfs add-stage)
because the image must be linked twice: First, with some bogus, but safe
base address (eg. 0) to figure out the target address (based on file
size). Then a second time at the target address.

The work flow is:
 - link file
 - cbfstool locate
 - link file again
 - cbfstool add-stage.
