Leah Rowe c716341c13 cb/kabylake: don't hardcode power_on_after_fail
I realised that the Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro has NVRAM available.
Use that backend, and hardcode power_on_after_fail to Disable,
which is already done in cmos.default.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 currently has no option table in coreboot,
besides the CBFS one. For this, the CBFS option table has been
enabled, and the build system has been modified to insert
a relevant config for power_on_after_fail.

Nicholas Chin informs me that Kabylake generally has legacy NVRAM,
so enabling it for the T480/T480s should work, but we'll need
to use it in the future anyway; better to just use CBFS now.

I *could* use the CBFS backend on 3050micro as well.

Subject: [PATCH 29/40] dell/3050micro: disable nvme hotplug
in my testing, when running my 3050micro for a few days,
the nvme would sometimes randomly rename.
e.g. nvme0n1 renamed to nvme0n2
this might cause crashes in linux, if booting only from the
nvme. in my case, i was booting from mdraid (sata+nvme) and
every few days, the nvme would rename at least once, causing
my RAID to become unsynced. since i'm using RAID1, this was
OK and I could simply re-sync the array, but this is quite
precarious indeed. if you're using raid0, that will potentially
corrupt your RAID array indefinitely.
this same issue manifested on the T480/T480 thinkpads, and
S3 resume would break because of that, when booting from nvme,
because the nvme would be "unplugged" and appear to linux as a
new device (the one that you booted from).
the fix there was to disable hotplugging on that pci-e slot
for the nvme, so apply the same fix here for 3050 micro
