cbfstool: Restructure around support for reading/writing portions of files
The buffer API that cbfstool uses to read and write files only directly supports one-shot operations on whole files. This adds an intermediate partitioned_file module that sits on top of the buffer system and has an awareness of FMAP entries. It provides an easy way to get a buffer for an individual region of a larger image file based on FMAP section name, as well as incrementally write those smaller buffers back to the backing file at the appropriate offset. The module has two distinct modes of operation: - For new images whose layout is described exclusively by an FMAP section, all the aforementioned functionality will be available. - For images in the current format, where the CBFS master header serves as the root of knowledge of the image's size and layout, the module falls back to a legacy operation mode, where it only allows manipulation of the entire image as one unit, but exposes this support through the same interface by mapping the region named SECTION_NAME_PRIMARY_CBFS ("COREBOOT") to the whole file. The tool is presently only ported onto the new module running in legacy mode: higher-level support for true "partitioned" images will be forthcoming. However, as part of this change, the crusty cbfs_image_from_file() and cbfs_image_write_file() abstractions are removed and replaced with a single cbfs_image function, cbfs_image_from_buffer(), as well as centralized image reading/writing directly in cbfstool's main() function. This reduces the boilerplate required to implement each new action, makes the create action much more similar to the others, and will make implementing additional actions and adding in support for the new format much easier. BUG=chromium:470407 TEST=Build panther and nyan_big coreboot.rom images with and without this patch and diff their hexdumps. Ensure that no differences occur at different locations from the diffs between subsequent builds of an identical source tree. Then flash a full new build onto nyan_big and watch it boot normally.
