So far only VBE-simple is implemented in U-Boot. This supports a single
image which can be updated in situ.
It is often necessary to support two images (A and B) so that the board
is not bricked if the update is interrupted or is bad.
In some cases, a non-updatable recovery image is desirable, so that the
board can be returned to a known-good state in the event of a serious
failure.
Introduce ABrec which provides these features. It supports three
independent images and the logic to select the desired one on boot.
While we are here, fix a debug message to indicate the function it
called. Provide a maintainers entry for VBE.
Note that fwupdated only supports VBE-simple so far, but supports for
ABrec will appear in time.

VBE supports booting firmware during the SPL phases, i.e. so that VPL can
start SPL and SPL can start U-Boot.
It also supports booting an OS, when in U-Boot.
As a first step towards these features, add functions to indicate the
current VBE phase. The firmware selection is done in VPL and the OS
selection is done in U-Boot proper.

We want to use VBE to mean Verfiied Boot for Embedded in U-Boot. Rename
the existing VBE (Vesa BIOS extensions) to allow this.
Verified Boot for Embedded is documented doc/develop/vbe.rst

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Provide a function to run the Vesa BIOS for a given PCI device and obtain
the resulting configuration (e.g. display size) for use by the video
uclass. This makes it easier to write a video driver that uses vesa and
supports driver model.

When booting as a coreboot payload, the framebuffer details are
passed from coreboot via configuration tables. We save these
information into vesa_mode_info structure for future use.

For option ROMs we can use these extensions to request a particular video
mode. Add a header file which defines the binary interface.
