Delete SeaBIOS from libreboot.
It was virtually useless. Noone used it. SeaBIOS is easy enough to build from source if someone wants to use it from now on.

-
- <p>
- SeaBIOS isn't really needed since libreboot uses the GRUB payload which
- is much better (for several reasons), so it is no longer included in the ROM
- images by default. Instead, you can add it afterwards.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- In the supplied binary archives, or in your own (if you did 'build-release') you can add SeaBIOS
- to the ROM images, along with SeaVGABIOS which is a free/libre Video BIOS implementation that wraps
- around the 'native graphics initializitation' code in coreboot, for boards that have support for it.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- First, <a href="#build_dependencies">install the build dependencies</a>.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Binaries for cbfstool are provided (built from libreboot_src) statically linked under cbfstool/ and the <b>addseabios</b>
- script (see below) will try to automatically select the right one to use.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Now:<br/>
- $ <b>./addseabios</b>
- </p>
-
- <p>
- SeaBIOS and SeaVGABIOS (which the build scripts created, and the build-release script put - compiled -
- inside the binary archive) have now been added to all of the ROM images under ./bin/. A GRUB menuentry will show
- up when you boot your machine, allowing you to use SeaBIOS.
