Julius Werner 21aedee1ce vboot2: Add sd->fw_version_secdata field to communicate to crossystem
This patchs adds a new vb2_shared_data field to store the current
rollback prevention version number stored in secdata (TPM). This
information needs to be retrieved from there by coreboot (current
hack) or vboot2 kernel verification (bright shiny future) so it can be
passed along to the operating system and user space.

BRANCH=veyron
BUG=chrome-os-partner:35941
TEST=make runtests. Booted Jerry in recovery mode (with corresponding
coreboot patch), ensured that crossystem tpm_fwver still shows the
correct value.

Here's what's what in the firmware/ directory.

include/
lib/

  These are the original structures and APIs used in the earliest
  Chromebooks and continuing through 2014. It never had a version as such to
  begin with, but we now refer to this implementation as "vboot1" or
  "vboot version 1.0".

linktest/
stub/

  These are stubs used to link the vboot1 libraries into host-side test
  executables so we can run some tests on the build machine instead of a
  Chromebook.

2lib/

  In 2014 we began work on a new vboot API. The first step was just a
  refactoring and renaming of the verification API. The public functions and
  external headers that are exported for use by the Chrome OS firmware (or
  anything else that wants to use vboot) live in here. The internal
  structures and implementations go elsewhere.

lib20/

  This is an early implementation of the public (2lib/) API. It is
  binary-compatible with vboot1, so although the interface details are
  different, any existing on-device structures or signatures created by the
  vboot1 tools can be validated using this implementation.

  This was deployed slightly before it was ready. That's not a problem,
  thanks to the binary compatibility, but this directory will be abandoned
  Real Soon Now, except for the product support branches.

lib21/

  This is where the current development of the second-generation vboot API
  is taking place. It uses the public (2lib/) API, but will NOT be binary
  compatible with vboot1 structs. Because of the early release of the lib20
  stuff, we're actually calling this lib21.
