Description

> @Tonux599 as known; Dasharo+Heads had bad press on MSI.

> From what I got (memory based, please correct me) from @zirblazer

> HCL is important (should be stated in board configs)
> - CPU needs to include IGPU otherwise support request will flow.
> - Documentation needs to exist for external initial flashing, rom hole doc, etc

> At bare minimum, expected to work HCL should point to Dasahro docs, in board configs.

> Thanks for this work @Tonux599. Not sure how to do this politically, but current dasahro+heads users will want to know existence of these test binaries, in today's Dasharo DUG terms, being a "rapid" release.
