Description

The libflashrom API was never quite finalised and in order to avoid being stuck in the future we should at least add a API versioning mechanism before doing a flashrom release.

This way in future a compat layer can be derived for a user while allowing us the flexibility to fundamentally change the API for the better. While unfortunate, it is what it is and a version field is generally a good idea regardless.

There are two types of versioning mechanisms required, one for runtime and the other for build/link-time.
