Previously we had to rely on dmidecode to decode the DMI/SMBIOS table.
This patch integrates a DMI decoder into flashrom. The old behavior of calling
dmidecode can be brought back by using CONFIG_INTERNAL_DMI=no.

Significant portions of this patch were taken from dmidecode, hence add its
authors to the copyright notice (dmidecode is also GPL2+). We do a few things
differently though. First of all we do more bounds checking to prevent accessing
unmapped memory. We do not support disovery via EFI (yet), but memory
scanning only. We handle the chassis-type lock bit correctly which dmidecode
did not for a long while.

The API to the rest of flashrom remains stable, but the output changes slightly.
To share as much code as possible (which actually is not much), i have added
dmi_fill methods that get called in dmi_init. They are reponsible to fill the
dmi_strings array and setting the is_laptop variable. After it is called, dmi_init
prints all dmi_strings. Previously the strings were printed in the order they were
discovered, followed by the chassis-type, which is now output earlier (in dmi_fill).

Because DJGPP does not support strnlen a simple implementation was added
for it.

This is still only available on x86; actually it is not even compiled in for other
architectures at all anymore.

The type describes one entry of the whole layout actually.
Using layout_entry_t or something similar would be more correct,
but due to it length we will use "rom" instead of "layout" here and

Flashrom won't build nor run as native payload very soon (or ever).
This patch changes a special GNU make variable that allows to select
the default goal which is taken if no goal is given explicitly on
the command line. Normally this would be the first rule in Makefile,
i.e. all. This won't compile if the target OS is libpayload, hence
change it to "libflashrom.a" in that case.

This requires two not completely ancient GNU make features:
 - MAKECMDGOALS
 - .DEFAULT_GOAL

Checking for these with ancient-only GNU make features is non-trivial
and hereby postponed.

An unused programmer parameter is a sign that the user wanted to either
do something not supported by the programmer or misspelled a parameter
which may be essential for the given programmer.

Aborting is the only safe choice. If the programmer parameter is unused
because of an error during programmer init, aborting would have happened
anyway due to that error.

I broke this in r1702 where I enabled avoidance of the verification step if
we did not modify anything in the erase/write step. The problem is that
all_skipped is initialized to true and hence it would only ever verify if
there have been changes noted in the erase/write step. This obviously
breaks the verification operation (-v/--verify) because there we never
enter the erase/write loop.

The better alternative would be to enable (the implicit) verification
in the write loop and not in cli_classic.c. This would require a bigger
change due to the existance of dont_verify_it. Eventually this is the
right thing to do but not so shortly before a release.

Unsigned long is not the right type for manipulating pointer values.
Since C99 there are suitable unsigned and signed types available, namely
uintptr_t and intptr_t respectively.

Use them in functions assigned to programmers' map_flash_region fields and
their callers where applicable.

This patch also changes the display width of all associated address values in
physmap.c to 16/8 hex characters depending on the actual size by
introducing a macro PRIxPTR_WIDTH and exploiting printf's * field width

Improve compilation with libpayload (compiling flashrom.c and
linking is still broken):
 - disable Ponyprog (which enforced serial.c compilation)
 - make errno available where it is needed

Fix internal.c for non-x86 and enable cb parsing on ARM.

Fix mingw builds by using its __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO macro
and gnu_printf definition for printf format style checking.
See http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/gnu%20printf


This requires inclusion of stdio.h in flash.h.

Fix order of libraries in the Makefile:
FEATURE_LIBS needs to come *after* PCILIBS in case ZLIB is needed by it.

Previously the default implementation was used, which always failed.
On other systems than the Geode the code is not equal to that anymore,
but should not explode because setup_cpu_msr() returns an error and
therefore no other MSR functions should be called.

I completely forgot about NetBSD in r1638 which was broken since then.
Also, on OpenBSD use iopl again and refine the warning in case we have
insufficient privileges.
Thanks to Jonathan A. Kollasch for his help in getting the details right.

Flash chips, links to footnotes.

 - Escape mainboard notes in the wiki output with <nowiki> (this became
necessary because MediaWiki started to convert <mark@zl2tod.net> to
<mark>). - Add explanations at the top of the flash chip table in the
wiki. - Add links to the footnotes of mainboards and laptops similarly
to what MediaWiki does: link from the reference to the footnote and
vice versa too. Also, check for truncations of the footnotes due to the
limited buffer. - Fix a typo introduced in r1555.
