Add flag to GBB to allow loading PCI Option ROMs

As shipped, H2C only loads the option ROM for the built-in video, and that
only when it needs display the BIOS warning screens.

By setting a flag in the GBB, you can allow all option ROMs to be loaded:

Note that we'll never enable this ourselves (and there's a factory test to
ensure that*) because it executes non-verified code. But if a customer wants
to void their warranty and set this flag in the read-only flash so they can
install and use other PCI devices, they should be able to do so.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:6148
TEST=none

The only way to test this is to use a BIOS that was compiled with serial
debugging enabled, so there's nothing for QA to do. If you have such a BIOS,
you can see the difference like so:

  flashrom -r oldbios.bin
  gbb_utility -s --flags=2 oldbios.bin newbios.bin
  flashrom -w newbios.bin
  <reboot>

When bit 1 of the GBB flags is 0, you'll see these lines in the serial
output:

  LoadOpRomImage-->GetSystemConfigurationTable Status = Success
  LoadOpRomImage-->GetH2cBootMode Status = Success

When bit 1 of the GBB flags is 1, you'll see these lines in the serial
output:

  LoadOpRomImage-->GetSystemConfigurationTable Status = Success
  LoadOpRomImage-->GetH2cBootMode Status = Success
  LoadOpRomImage-->PCI OpRom on 1.0.0 is allowed!!!

This happens in any boot mode (normal, developer, recovery).
