Paul Menzel a8843dee58 Use more secure HTTPS URLs for coreboot sites
The coreboot sites support HTTPS, and requests over HTTP with SSL are
also redirected. So use the more secure URLs, which also saves a
request most of the times, as nothing needs to be redirected.

Run the command below to replace all occurences.

```
$ git grep -l -E 'http://(www.|review.|)coreboot.org'
| xargs sed -i 's,http://\(.*\)coreboot.org,https://\1coreboot.org,g'
```

Patrick Georgi 221761e0be README: improve description of compiler requirements
People run into "building bootblock without the required toolchain" too often.
Update documentation so they don't try to use random compilers to build
coreboot.

Patrick Georgi 7e8c9aa271 Replace sconfig with a C implementation.
(smaller, faster, standard parser generator, no more python)

Provide precompiled parser, so bison and flex are optional dependencies.

Adapt Makefile and abuild (which uses some sconfig file as a
magic path) to match.

Drop python as dependency from README, and add bison and flex
as optional dependencies

Uwe Hermann dbbecb5c17 Various minor fixes (trivial).
- More license header cosmetics.

 - New official "Building coreboot" document is now at:
   http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO

 - Drop "(mostly those derived from the Linux kernel)" part of the GPL-v2-only
   parts from the README. Many other files are also GPL-v2-only, too.

Patrick Georgi 68882a3322 Remove two perl calls with sed, and adds an alternative
for another two (using GNU date, and with limited impact if both
alternatives fail)

Those were the remaining perl calls in our build tree, so remove perl
from our dependency list in README.

Uwe Hermann 0346c22de6 Improvements for the coreboot v2 README:
- Point to the 'Payloads' wiki page for more info.
 
 - Document (most of) the build requirements of v2.

 - Point to the wiki for build instructions (wiki needs more docs, though).

 - Mention QEMU for testing coreboot, also point to wiki page.
