Move the firmware attributes class helper out of platform/x86, rename the
coreboot-table firmware driver directory from google to coreboot, and add a
coreboot CFR firmware attributes driver.

Changes in v9:
- Add the missing kstrtox.h include used by kstrtou32().
- Use a single kobject rollback path when setting registration fails.
- Split a few helper locals for readability, including the pending reboot
  device lookup and enum-value population.
- Avoid an intermediate void pointer cast while parsing numeric CFR options.
- Check the possible-values buffer length before computing each label length.

Changes in v8:
- Add a preparatory include-order cleanup before moving the firmware
  attributes class helper.
- Add direct includes for __packed and container_of(), use scoped cleanup for
  EFI names and the driver mutex, and document the efivar lock requirement on
  private helpers.
- Replace the duplicated CFR record walkers with one checked iterator that
  distinguishes malformed input from the end of a record list.
- Validate enum entries before accessing them and propagate malformed child
  records instead of treating them as absent.
- Restore the EFI variable after a failed runtime apply without retrying the
  failed firmware operation, and only emit a change event when the new EFI
  value remains stored.
- Document the possible-values size limit and why CFR entries without a usable
  runtime EFI variable are skipped.

Testing:
- x86_64 out-of-tree W=1 build of drivers/firmware/coreboot/coreboot-cfr.o.
- checkpatch --strict --git HEAD.
- v8 x86_64 and UML allmodconfig W=1 builds of the driver and helper.
- v8 runtime APM_CNT apply and reboot-needed behavior on a Star Labs Byte with
  firmware 26.07 and Linux 6.17.
