Libreboot release 6 beta 2.
Deleted all git-related files from the coreboot directory. This was necessary because with those it is possible to run 'git diff' which shows the changes made in the form of a patch (diff format); this includes the blobs that were deleted during deblobbing.

A proposed (untested) workaround for GRUB is to lower the screen resolution for that machine (only in GRUB), or try to fix it (the current theory is that not enough memory is
allocated for the framebuffer; this is an issue to be dealt with in coreboot (the upstream provider) and not libreboot (the downstream provider)).
