This patch is to enable U-Boot as a payload which runs on top of Slim Bootloader(https://github.com/slimbootloader/slimbootloader) boot firmware for x86 platforms.

The Slim Bootloader is designed with multi-stage architecture for the execution from reset vector to OS hand-off, and supports qemu, Apollolake, Whiskeylake and Coffeelake platforms consuming Intel FSP(https://github.com/IntelFsp/FSP) for silicon initialization including CAR and memory initialization.
As multi-stage architecture, the Slim Bootloader adopts payload concept which is responsible for OS load from media devices and boot OS and it supports 32-bit PE32, EFI FV, ELF and RAW format payloads.
The Slim Bootloader generate HOB(Hand Off Block) list pointer, which has debug serial port info, memory map info, performance data info and etc., and passes it to a payload. U-Boot configures serial port, dram, pci, tsc and others with the information from the HOB.

The compiled U-Boot supports usb, sata and sd/mmc boot which have been verified on qemu and other supported platforms.

Changes in v5:
  * Remove X86_LOAD_FROM_32_BIT from slimbootloader_defconfig

Changes in v4:
  * Use arch/x86/cpu/start.S with CONFIG_SYS_SLIMBOOTLOADER condition
  * Update U-boot or u-boot to U-Boot in commit message
  * Add static keyword in static function

Changes in v3:
  * Add a brief description about Slim Bootloader in 1st patch
  * Add a common HOB library to be used by both FSP and Slim Bootloader
  * Move board/slimbootloader/slimbootloader to board/intel/slimbootloader
  * Add more description board/intel/slimbootloader/README
  * Fix comments from the code review

Changes in v2:
  * Split a single patch to 8 patches
  * Add more comment for each structure and functions
