mrc_cache: Update mrc_cache data in romstage
Previously, we were writing to cbmem after memory training and then
writing the training data from cbmem to mrc_cache in ramstage. We
were doing this because we were unable to read/write to SPI
simultaneously on older x86 chips. Now that newer chips allow for
simultaneously reads and writes, we can move the mrc_cache update into
romstage. This is beneficial if there is a reboot for some reason
after memory training but before the previous mrc_cache_stash_data
call originally in ramstage. If this happens, we would lose all the
mrc_cache training data in the next boot even though we've already
performed the memory training.
Added new config BOOT_DEVICE_SPI_FLASH_NO_EARLY_WRITES to accomodate
older x86 platforms that don't do mmapping but still want to use the
cbmem to store the mrc_cache data in order to write the mrc_cache data
back at a later time. We are maintaining the use of cbmem for these
older platforms because we have no way of validating the earlier write
back to mrc_cache at this time.

TEST=reboot from ec console. Make sure memory training happens.
reboot from ec console. Make sure that we don't do training again.

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).Optional:
make menuconfig and make nconfig)Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
