[PATCH v6 0/7] Resolve issues with booting distros on x86

This little series reprises the EFI-video fix, fixes a USB problem and
enables a boot script for coreboot.

It also moves to truetype fonts for coreboot and qemu-x86, since the
menus look much better and there are no strong size constraints.

With these changes it is possible to boot a Linux distro automatically
with U-Boot on x86, including when U-Boot is the second-stage
bootloader.

Changes in v6:
- Rebase to -next
- Move 'Avoid unbinding devices in use by bootflows' to another series

Changes in v4:
- Use a Kconfig option

Changes in v3:
- Clear the screen before booting
- Add new patch to drop unnecessary truetype operations from SPL
- Add new patch to enable truetype fonts in coreboot
- Add new patch to enable truetype fonts in qemu-x86 and qemu-x86_64

Changes in v2:
- Add new patch to add a coreboot boot script
