x86: Add support for running Intel reference code

Intel has invented yet another binary blob which firmware is required to
run. This is run after SDRAM is ready. It is linked to load at a particular
address, typically 0, but is a relocatable ELF so can be moved if required.

Add support for this in the build system. The file should be placed in the
board directory, and called refcode.elf.

Select this option to add a Reference Code binary to the resulting
U-Boot image. This is an Intel binary blob that handles system
initialisation, in this case the PCH and System Agent.
Note: Without this binary (on platforms that need it such as
broadwell) U-Boot will be missing some critical setup steps.
Various peripherals may fail to work.
