sb/intel/common: Hook up me_cleaner

Browse Source 
The me_cleaner option is available on multiple platforms:
 * Sandy and Ivy Bridge (well tested by multiple users).
 * Skylake and Braswell (tested).
 * Haswell, Broadwell and Bay Trail (untested).

The untested platforms have been included anyways because all the
firmwares are very similar and Intel ME/TXE probably behaves in the
same way.

Use me_cleaner to remove all the non-fundamental code from the Intel
ME/TXE firmware.
The resulting Intel ME/TXE firmware will have only the code
responsible for the very basic hardware initialization, leaving the
ME/TXE subsystem essentially in a disabled state.
Don't flash a modified ME/TXE firmware and a new coreboot image at the
same time, test them in two different steps.
WARNING: this tool isn't based on any official Intel documentation but
only on reverse engineering and trial & error.
