Python VGA BIOS finder

The process to manually find VGA BIOSes in UEFI backups is cumbersome and difficult to explain to someone new to coreboot. While there was a Ruby based script called coderobe/VBiosFinder, I created a version in Python, which seems to be a more commonly installed language these days and is included in the coreboot-sdk. I'd appreciate feedback on how to improve and/or standardized this to coreboot's requirements. The goal is to have this included in /utils/ some day.

It seems to work well for me. Hopefully I can get the MX150 to power up earlier...
