cbfs: Remove broken remnants of PAYLOAD_INFO feature

Browse Source 
PAYLOAD_INFO is a very old feature that can add a key/value information
section to a payload file. It seems to have only ever been generated by
coreinfo and never really read by anything.

Since CB:1721 in 2012, the feature has been inadvertently broken in
practice since the `.note.pinfo` sections that contain the information
get discarded from the payload before cbfstool gets to see them. Since
CB:28647 in 2018, support for the section in the SELF loader was
(inadvertently?) dropped, so if someone actually fed cbfstool a payload
ELF that did have a `.note.pinfo` section, modern coreboot would refuse
to boot the payload entirely (which is probably not a good state to
leave things in).

This patch removes the code to generate PAYLOAD_INFO entries entirely,
but leaves the support to parse and extract those sections from old
payloads in place in cbfstool.
