Update cereal dependency

It seems that, we cannot directly make the cereal packages as required,
since the libcereal bitbake recipe does not seem to supply the necessary
package config files which meson build system could find using the
dependency() call.

The libcereal bitbake recipe does not seem to put the package
config files but seem to install the necessary header files into the
includes, so mark the cereal dependency as not required, but
add the checks for finding the necessary cereal headers rather than
the package config file.

Just copied the cereal dependency check code from other repositories
like phosphor-state-manager & pldm.

Tested by :
1. Did a bitbake build with this change and made sure that the
   bios-config-mgr builds & figure outs the cereal dependency.

Remote BIOS Configuration via BMC Overview Provides ability for the user to view and modify the BIOS setup configuration parameters remotely via BMC at any Host state. Modifications to the parameters take place upon the next system reboot or immediate based on the host firmware. Please refer https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/designs/remote-bios-configuration.md

Remote BIOS Configuration (RBC) service exposes D-Bus methods for BIOS settings management operations.

RBC Manager Interface xyz.openbmc_project.BIOSConfig.Manager provides following methods, properties.

Object Path : /xyz/openbmc_project/BIOSConfig/Manager

xyz.openbmc_project.BIOSConfig.Manager

methods: SetAttribute -To set the particular BIOS attribute with new value. GetAttribute -To get the bios attribute current values and pending values if again.

Properites: ResetBIOSSettings - Contain reset BIOS setting type: Interface have to set NoAction this property, when Reset BIOS settings are informed to the BIOS. BaseBIOSTable - Save the whole BIOS table. map{attributeName,struct{attributeType,readonlyStatus,displayname, description,menuPath,current,default, array{struct{optionstring,optionvalue}}}} Example 1: {"DdrFreqLimit", {xyz.openbmc_project.BIOSConfig.Manager.AttributeType.String, false, "Memory Operating Speed Selection", "Force specific Memory Operating Speed or use Auto setting.", "Advanced/Memory Configuration/Memory Operating Speed Selection", "0x00", "0x0B", { {"OneOf", "auto"}, {"OneOf", "2133"}, {"OneOf", "2400"}, {"OneOf", "2664"}, {"OneOf", "2933"} } } } Example 2: {"BIOSSerialDebugLevel", {xyz.openbmc_project.BIOSConfig.Manager.AttributeType.Integer, false, "BIOS Serial Debug level", "BIOS Serial Debug level during system boot.", "Advanced/Debug Feature Selection", 0x00, 0x01, { {"MinBound", 0}, {"MaxBound", 4}, {"ScalarIncrement",1} } } }

Signals: AttributeChanged - Signal sent out when attribute is changed

PasswordInterface:

xyz.openbmc_project.BIOSConfig.Password provides following Methods and Properities.

xyz.openbmc_project.BIOSConfig.Password Interface

Methods: ChangePassword - Change the BIOS setup password.

Properities: PasswordInitialized - To indicate BIOS password related details are received or not.
