x86: Add an option to enabling building a ROM file

Rather than requiring the Makefile to be modified, provide a build option to
enable the ROM to be built.

We cannot do this by default since it requires binary blobs. Without these
the build will fail.

little bit tricky, as generally it requires several binary blobs which are not
shipped in the U-Boot source tree. Due to this reason, the u-boot.rom build is
not turned on by default in the U-Boot source tree. Firstly, you need turn it
on by uncommenting the following line in the main U-Boot Makefile:

Modern CPUs usually require a special bit stream called microcode [5] to be
loaded on the processor after power up in order to function properly. U-Boot
has already integrated these as hex dumps in the source tree.
