doc: Convert Chromium OS docs to rst
Move this documentation over to reST. Move the example files into a files/
directory so they are still separate.
Do a few minor updates while we are here:
- Tidy up sandbox build instructions
- Update my github account name
- Add some talks and links

+Chromium OS Support in U-Boot
+=============================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This describes how to use U-Boot with Chromium OS. Several options are
+available:
+
+ - Running U-Boot from the 'altfw' feature, which is available on selected
+ Chromebooks from 2019 onwards (initially Grunt). Press '1' from the
+ developer-mode screen to get into U-Boot. See here for details:
+ https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/HEAD/developer_mode.md
+
+ - Running U-Boot from the disk partition. This involves signing U-Boot and
+ placing it on the disk, for booting as a 'kernel'. See
+ :doc:`chainload` for information on this. This is the only
+ option on non-U-Boot Chromebooks from 2013 to 2018 and is somewhat
+ more involved.
+
+ - Running U-Boot with Chromium OS verified boot. This allows U-Boot to be
+ used instead of either or both of depthcharge (a bootloader which forked
+ from U-Boot in 2013) and coreboot. See :doc:`run_vboot` for more
+ information on this.
+
+ - Running U-Boot from coreboot. This allows U-Boot to run on more devices
+ since many of them only support coreboot as the bootloader and have
+ no bare-metal support in U-Boot. For this, use the 'coreboot' target.
+
+ - Running U-Boot and booting into a Chrome OS image, but without verified
+ boot. This can be useful for testing.
+

+ - "Chrome University 2018: Chrome OS Firmware and Verified Boot 201"
+
+ - Author: Duncan Laurie
+ - Describes Chrome OS firmware as of 2018 and includes a wide range of
+ topics. This has no U-Boot information, but does cover coreboot and also
+ talks about the Chrome OS EC and Security chip. This is probably the
+ best introduction talk.
