We have some code that accesses arrays based on values from firmware.
This patch series makes a bunch of those accesses more robust. This
series only touches accesses that are not guaranteed to be safe by local
invariants - some accesses are safe due to earlier checks and I haven't
modified those.
This series also refactors and removes some code that can be simplified.
In particular, it removes `FwSecBiosBuilder`, removes unused fields,
and moves type and constant definitions closer to their usages.

Changes in v4:
- Split BIOS_MAX_SCAN_LEN patch into multiple per review comments
- Consolidate bios max scan length checking
- Convert more structs to use FromBytes since we assume little endian
- Remove unused PciRomHeader fields
- Drop unused types / imports
- Move constants+helpers closer to usage locations
- Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260421-fix-vbios-v3-0-8f648aef7a85@nvidia.com
Changes in v3:
- Use first PCI-AT and FWSEC images instead of erroring.
- Expand commit messages.
- Add Joel's Reviewed-by's (thanks!)
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260414-fix-vbios-v2-0-705d30d16bba@nvidia.com
Changes in v2:
- Add Joel's reviewed-by tags.
- Remove unnecessary code like `falcon_data_offset` from
`FwSecBiosBuilder`
- Push offset handling into `falcon_data_ptr` (renamed)

- Add checking for spurious PCI-AT and FWSEC images.
- Remove `FwSecBiosBuilder`
