cbfstool: Support new FMD flag "PRESERVE"
When updating firmware, it is very often that we may want to preserve
few sections, for example vital product data (VPD) including serial
number, calibration data and cache. A firmware updater has to hard-code
the section names that need to be preserved and is hard to maintain.
A better approach is to specify that in FMAP area flags (the `area_flag`
field) using FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE. With this patchset, a FMD parser flag
"PRESERVE" is introduced and will be converted to FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE
when generating FMAP data (by fmap_from_fmd.c).
For example, The FMD statement:
RO_VPD(PRESERVE)@0x0 16k
will generate an FMAP firmware section that:
area_name = "RO_VPD"
area_offset = 0
area_size = 16384
area_flags = FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE
BUG=chromium:936768
TEST=make; boots on x86 "google/eve" and arm "google/kukui" devices
Manually added 'PRESERVE' to some FMD files, and verify (by running
fmap.py) the output coreboot.rom has FMAP_AREA_PRESERVE set
