A certain amount of dynamic space is required for the handover from
GRUB/Linux-EFI-stub. This entails things like initrd addresses,
address-cells entries and associated strings.
But move this into a proper centralised #define rather than live-code
it in the loader.

uboot_disk_write() is currently lacking the write support
to storage devices because, historically, those devices did not
implement block_write() in U-Boot.
The solution has been tested using a patched U-Boot loading
and booting GRUB in a QEMU vexpress-a9 environment.
The disk write operations were triggered with GRUB's save_env

The value of tpm_handle changes between successive calls to grub_tpm_handle_find(),
as instead of simply copying the stored pointer we end up taking the address of
said pointer when using the cached value of grub_tpm_handle.
This causes grub_efi_open_protocol() to return a nullptr in grub_tpm2_execute()
and grub_tpm2_log_event(). Said nullptr goes unchecked and
efi_call_5(tpm->hash_log_extend_event,...) ends up jumping to 0x0, Qemu crashes
once video ROM is reached at 0xb0000.
This patch seems to do the trick of fixing that bug, but we should also ensure
that all calls to grub_efi_open_protocol() are checked so that we don't start
executing low memory.

Add support for multiple, shared, early initrd images. These early
images will be loaded in the order declared, and all will be loaded
before the initrd image.
While many classes of data can be provided by early images, the
immediate use case would be for distributions to provide CPU
microcode to mitigate the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities.
Xen has also support to load microcode updates provided as additional
modules by the bootloader.
There are two environment variables provided for declaring the early
images.
* GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_STOCK is for the distribution declare
images that are provided by the distribution or installed packages.
If undeclared, this will default to a set of common microcode image
names.
* GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_CUSTOM is for user created images. User
images will be loaded after the stock images.
These separate configurations allow the distribution and user to
declare different image sets without clobbering each other.
This also makes a minor update to ensure that UUID partition labels
stay disabled when no initrd image is found, even if early images are
present.

Upstream zstd commit name: Merge pull request #1354 from facebook/dev
Zstd requires some posix headers, which it gets from posix_wrap.
This can be checked by inspecting the .Po files generated by automake,
which contain the header dependencies. After building run the command
`cat grub-core/lib/zstd/.deps-core/*.Po` to see the dependencies [3].
The only OS dependencies are:
- stddef.h, which is already a dependency in posix_wrap, and used for size_t
by lzo and xz.
- stdarg.h, which comes from the grub/misc.h header, and we don't use in zstd.
All the types like uint64_t are typedefed to grub_uint64_t under the hood.
The only exception is size_t, which comes from stddef.h. This is already the
case for lzo and xz. I don't think there are any cross-compilation concerns,
because cross-compilers provide their own system headers (and it would already
be broken).

The error is caused by sig file descriptor been closed twice, first time
in grub_verify_signature() to which it is passed as parameter. Second in
grub_cmd_verify_signature() or in whichever opens the sig file
descriptor. The second close is not consider as bug to me either, as in
common rule of what opens a file has to close it to avoid file
descriptor leakage.
After all the design of grub_verify_signature() makes it difficult to keep
a good trace on opened file descriptor from it's caller. Let's refine
the application interface to accept file path rather than descriptor, in
this way the caller doesn't have to care about closing the descriptor by
delegating it to grub_verify_signature() with full tracing to opened
file descriptor by itself.
Also making it clear that sig descriptor is not referenced in error
returning path of grub_verify_signature_init(), so it can be closed
directly by it's caller. This also makes delegating it to
grub_pubkey_close() infeasible to help in relieving file descriptor
leakage as it has to depend on uncertainty of ctxt fields in error
returning path.

This module provides shim lock verification for various kernels

It is recommended to put this module into GRUB2 standalone image
(avoid putting iorw and memrw modules into it; they are disallowed
if UEFI secure boot is enabled). However, it is also possible to use
it as a normal module. Though such configurations are more fragile
and less secure due to various limitations.
If the module is loaded and UEFI secure boot is enabled then:
- module itself cannot be unloaded (persistent module),
- the iorw and memrw modules cannot be loaded,
- if the iorw and memrw modules are loaded then
machine boot is disabled,

This way if a verifier requires verification of a given file it can defer task
to another verifier (another authority) if it is not able to do it itself. E.g.
shim_lock verifier, posted as a subsequent patch, is able to verify only PE
files. This means that it is not able to verify any of GRUB2 modules which have
to be trusted on UEFI systems with secure boot enabled. So, it can defer
verification to other verifier, e.g. PGP one.
I silently assume that other verifiers are trusted and will do good job for us.
