Allows checking things like NVIDIA dGPU VBIOS Version.

  • Check if the github builds are linked correctly to libnvidia.
  • If it's linked to the nvidia, will that cause issues when the nvidia library/driver is not installed? Both windows and linux

link to nvidia lib only if nvidia feature

it's proprietary, many distributions won't ship it by default.
And almost all of our systems don't use nvidia

eeprom: Make --dump-gpu-descriptor-file more reliable

I often noticed it returning invalid data. Using 16 bit addressing seems
to work better.

Improve --dump-gpu-descriptor-file
50ca94b 
`--dump-gpu-descriptor-file -` now prints to stdout instead of writing
to a file for easier debugging.

If the structure is corrupt, we can still dump all 256 bytes.

More error reporting to figure out what's wrong if something is wrong.
