smbios: Allow writing to the coreboot version string

When U-Boot is booted from coreboot the SMBIOS tables are written by
coreboot, not U-Boot. The existing method of updating the BIOS version
string does not work in that case, since gd->smbios_version is only set
when U-Boot writes the tables.

Add a new function which allows the version to be updated by parsing the
tables and writing the string in the correct place. Since coreboot
provides a pointer to the SMBIOS tables in its sysinfo structure, this
makes it easy to do the update.
