    lib: Add Kconfig option to enable/disable auto fallback control
    
    Under certain conditions, e.g. automated testing, it is useful
    to have the payload (e.g. Linux) reset the reboot_bits CMOS
    value.  This allows automated recovery in the case of coreboot
    starting properly but the payload failing to start due to bad
    configuration data provided by the coreboot image under test.
