Remove first-boot-set-mac service for IBM machines

- This commit removes the first-boot-set-mac service as the
  similar and a better functionaly is now implemented in
  phosphor-networkd service.

- Here are the few disadvantages of the first-boot-set-mac service
1. The first-boot-set-mac is a script is not scalable with the
   increase in the number of ethernet interfaces.
2. Why do we need a new service just for setting the MAC Address
   when the network service alone can do it , and it makes sense
   to tie up this feature with Network as setting MAC address
   functionality  is implemented and owned by networkd.
3. With first-boot-set MAC, we need to make sure the VPD is populated
   before , if for any reason the VPD  is not generated the first-boot
   service cannot help set the MAC.

OpenEmbedded/Yocto/OpenBMC BSP layer for IBM systems

This layer provides support for the BMC firmware on IBM POWER systems server products.

This layer depends on:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
layers: meta
branch: master
revision: HEAD

URI: https://github.com/openbmc/meta-phosphor
branch: master
revision: HEAD

URI: https://github.com/openbmc/meta-openpower
branch: master
revision: HEAD

URI: https://github.com/openbmc/meta-aspeed
branch: master
revision: HEAD

The following systems are supported.

Witherspoon, or AC922, is an IBM POWER9 two-socket, 2U Accelerated Compute Server with up to 6 NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. More information can be found here.

In addition to witherspoon, this layer contains additional machine configurations such as swift. The default machine target is witherspoon, so in order to build a different configuration, or to build witherspoon after building a different one, set the MACHINE environment to the desired configuration name (see the conf/machine/ subdirectory for available options):

export MACHINE=machine_configuration_name

Then build:

bitbake obmc-phosphor-image

Example:

export MACHINE=swift
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
bitbake phosphor-logging

export MACHINE=witherspoon
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
