    vboot: Introduce kconfig variable for VBNV backing storage
    
    This introduces a new kconfig variable to select the VBNV backing
    store explicitly instead of inferring it from CPU/SoC architecture.
    
    x86 platforms have historically relied only on CMOS to store VBNV
    variables, while ARM-based platforms have traditionally relied on
    the EC. Neither of those solutions are going to scale well into
    the future if/when CMOS disappears and we make ARM-based systems
    without an EC.
