Autodetect ITE IT87* LPC->SPI translation on all boards without the need for a board enable

Browse Source 
Move boards which had an IT87* SPI board enable from the board enable
list to the OK list.

Mark the Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H as OK.

Change the it87spi forced port parameter to it87spiport=...

Fix incorrect indentation in the man page.

Tested by Ward Vandewege on both variants of the Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4

If your mainboard uses an ITE IT87 series Super I/O for LPC<->SPI flash bus
translation, flashrom should autodetect that configuration. You can use
.B "flashrom -p internal:it87spiport=portnum"
syntax as explained in the
.B it87spi
programmer section to use a non-default port for controlling the IT87 series
Super I/O. In the unlikely case flashrom doesn't detect an active IT87 LPC<->SPI
bridge, you can try to force recognition by using the it87spi programmer.
