payloads/external/SeaBIOS: Allow setting buffers below 0xC0000

Add the option to coreboot to set the SeaBIOS buffers below 0xC0000.
This is a requirement on the Intel Rangeley processor
because it is designed so that only the processor can write
the higher memory areas.  This prevents USB and SATA from bus-mastering
into the buffers when they're set in the typical 0xE0000 area.

This will be set to Y unless defaulted to N by the mainboard or
chipset.

Push the SeaBIOS buffers down to 0x90000 segment for Mohon Peak

help
The Avoton/Rangeley chip does not allow devices to write into the 0xe000
segment. This means that USB/SATA devices will not work in SeaBIOS unless
we put the SeaBIOS buffer area down in the 0x9000 segment.
