src: Remove variable length arrays

Variable length arrays were a feature added in C99 that allows the
length of an array to be determined at runtime. Eg.

int sum(size_t n) {
    	int arr[n];
    	...
    }

This adds a small amount of runtime overhead, but is also very
dangerous, since it allows use of an unlimited amount of stack memory,
potentially leading to stack overflow. This is only worsened in
coreboot, which often has very little stack space to begin with. Citing
concerns like this, all instances of VLA's were recently removed from the
Linux kernel. In the immortal words of Linus Torvalds [0],

AND USING VLA'S IS ACTIVELY STUPID! It generates much more code, and
    much _slower_ code (and more fragile code), than just using a fixed
    key size would have done. [...] Anyway, some of these are definitely
    easy to just fix, and using VLA's is actively bad not just for
    security worries, but simply because VLA's are a really horribly bad
    idea in general in the kernel.

This patch follows suit and zaps all VLA's in coreboot. Some of the
existing VLA's are accidental ones, and all but one can be replaced with
small fixed-size buffers. The single tricky exception is in the SPI
controller interface, which will require a rewrite of old drivers
to remove [1].
