Libreboot release 6 beta 4.r20140729

- Documentation: improved (more explanations, background info) in
  docs/howtos/x60_security.html (courtesy of Denis Carikli)
- MacBook2,1 tested (confirmed)
- macbook21: Added script 'macbook21_firstflash' for flashing
  libreboot while Apple EFI firmware is running.
- Documentation: macbook21: added software-based flashing instructions
  for flashing libreboot while Apple EFI firmware is running.
- Reduced size of libreboot_src.tar.gz:
  - Removed .git and .gitignore from grub directory (libreboot_src);
    not needed. Removing them reduces the size of the archive (by a
    lot). GRUB development should be upstream.
  - Removed .git and .gitignore from bucts directory (libreboot_src);
    not needed. Removing them reduces the size of the archive. bucts
    development should be upstream.
  - Removed .svn from flashrom directory (libreboot_src); not
    needed. Removing it reduces the size of the archive. flashrom
    development should be upstream.
- Added ROM's with Qwerty (Italian) layout in GRUB
  (libreboot*itqwerty.rom)
- Added resources/utilities/i945gpu/intel-regs.py for debugging issues
  related to LCD panel compatibility on X60 Tablet and T60. (courtesy
