x86: Add ifdtool for working with Intel Flash Descriptor ROM images

Newer Intel chips require a Management Engine which requires a particular format for the SPI flash that contains the boot loader. Add a tool that supports creating and modifying these ROM images. This tool is from Chrome OS but has been cleaned up to use U-Boot style and to add comments. A few features have been added also. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
