[PATCH v9 3/4] firmware: Rename google firmware directory to coreboot

Message-ID <f4742ea409d4963449b6a0887c87872c8e49173c.1785181823.git.sean@starlabs.systems>
Most drivers in drivers/firmware/google are coreboot table drivers rather
than Google-specific firmware drivers. Rename the directory to coreboot
and update the Kconfig prompt, build path and maintainer entry.

Keep the existing CONFIG_GOOGLE_* symbols to avoid user configuration
churn in this mechanical move.
