### CBFS stage file format change
[CB:46484](https://review.coreboot.org/46484) changed the in-flash
file format of coreboot stages to prepare for per-file signature
verification. As described in the commit message in more details,
when manipulating stages in a CBFS, the cbfstool build must match the
coreboot image so that they're using the same format: coreboot.rom
and cbfstool must be built from coreboot sources that either both
contain this change or both do not contain this change.
Since stages are usually only handled by the coreboot build system
which builds its own cbfstool (and therefore it always matches
coreboot.rom) this shouldn't be a concern in the vast majority of
scenarios.
