    Remove libverstage as separate library and source file class · e91d170d

    In builds without CONFIG_VBOOT_SEPARATE_VERSTAGE, verstage files are
    linked directly into the bootblock or the romstage. However, they're
    still compiled with a separate "libverstage" source file class, linked
    into an intermediate library and then linked into the final destination
    stage.
    
    There is no obvious benefit to doing it this way and it's unclear why it
    was chosen in the first place... there are, however, obvious
    disadvantages: it can result in code that is used by both libverstage
    and the host stage to occur twice in the output binary. It also means
    that libverstage files have their separate compiler flags that are not
    necessarily aligned with the host stage, which can lead to weird effects
    like <rules.h> macros not being set the way you would expect. In fact,
    VBOOT_STARTS_IN_ROMSTAGE configurations are currently broken on x86
    because their libverstage code that gets compiled into the romstage sets
    ENV_VERSTAGE, but CAR migration code expects all ENV_VERSTAGE code to
    run pre-migration.
    
    This patch resolves these problems by removing the separate library.
    There is no more difference between the 'verstage' and 'libverstage'
    classes, and the source files added to them are just treated the same
    way a bootblock or romstage source files in configurations where the
    verstage is linked into either of these respective stages (allowing for
    the normal object code deduplication and causing those files to be
    compiled with the same flags as the host stage's files).
    
    Tested this whole series by booting a Kevin, an Elm (both with and
    without SEPARATE_VERSTAGE) and a Falco in normal and recovery mode.
