[flashrom] [PATCH] Add git support to the Makefile

I had some time to take another stab at this, make the shell script
standalone (easier testing), and break the changes down much further. Much
of it recycles bits and pieces which Vadim and Carl-Daniel wrote (Including
the workaround from the blog post) and chops it into more digestible pieces.

I think this approach will be more maintainable and testable in the future
than the huge series of shell commands in-lined in the Makefile. This also
gives us the flexibility to punt disruptive changes until after the 0.9.3
release, rather than making all the changes at once.

The first patch only adds the script to util/ and is completely benign. The
second patch non-disruptively changes the Makefile to utilize the script for
SVNVERSION. The third patch disruptively changes the "flashrom --version"
output to add the extra information. I expect we'll spend a while longer
discussing the third one :-)

Here are the results after applying all three patches:
dhendrix at thegates:flashrom$ ./util/getrevision.sh -h
Usage:
        ./util/getrevision.sh <option>

Options
    -h or --help
        Display this message.
    -u or --upstream
        upstream flashrom revision
    -l or --local
        local revision (if different from upstream)
    -t or --timestamp
        timestamp of most recent modification
    -U or --url
        url associated with local copy of flashrom

*Test setup #1*: SVN repo with no local modifications
Since this is an SVN repo in this case, there is no local revision to take
into account.
dhendrix at thegates:flashrom-head$ ./util/getrevision.sh -u -l -t -U

dhendrix at thegates:flashrom-head$ sudo ./flashrom --version
flashrom v0.9.2-r1155 from svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk, no local
revision, timestamp 2010-09-07 15:03:38 +,  on Linux 2.6.32-14-generic
(x86_64), built with libpci 3.0.0, GCC 4.4.3, little endian
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

*Test setup #2*: SVN repo with local modifications
Since this is an SVN repo in this case, there is no local revision to take
into account. However, I have changed files in this case, so the timestamp
has been modified.

dhendrix at thegates:flashrom-gitfriendly$ ./util/getrevision.sh -u -l -t -U

flashrom v0.9.2-r1155 from svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk, no local

*Test setup #3*: Git repo with no local modifications
Since this is a git repo, we will use the hash (668198a) as the local
revision.
