console/flashsconsole: Adding a spi flash console for debugging
If CONSOLE_SPI_FLASH config is enabled, we can write the cbmem messages to the 'console' region in CBFS which allows us to grab the log when we read the flash.
This is useful when you don't have usb debugging, and UART lines are hard to find. Since a failure to boot would require a hardware flasher anyways, we can get the log at the same time.
This feature should only be used when no alternative is found and only when we can't boot the system, because excessive writes to the flash is not recommended.
This has been tested on purism/librem13 v2 and librem 15 v3 which run skylake hardware. It has not been tested on other archs or with a driver other than the fast_spi.
The Kconfig help mentions support for writing to an fmap area but this isn't supported yet.
