[PATCH v2] firmware: coreboot: Check size of table entry and split memcpy

The memcpy() of the data following a coreboot_table_entry couldn't
be evaluated by the compiler under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. To make it
easier to reason about, add an explicit flexible array member to struct
coreboot_device so the entire entry can be copied at once. Additionally,
validate the sizes before copying. Avoids this run-time false positive
warning:

memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 168) of single field "&device->entry" at drivers/firmware/google/coreboot_table.c:103 (size 8)
