ME cleaner

A cleaner for Intel ME images.

This tools removes any unnecessary partition from an Intel ME firmware,
reducing its size and its ability to interact with the system. It should
work both with Coreboot and with the factory BIOS.

Currently this tool:

Scans the FPT (partition table) and checks that everything is correct
Removes any partition entry (except for FTPR) from FPT
Removes any partition except for the fundamental one (FTPR)
Removes the EFFS presence flag
Corrects the FPT checksum
Removes any LZMA-compressed module (pre-Skylake only)
Removes most of the Huffman-compressed modules (pre-Skylake only)
