Provide a Debian / Ubuntu package for ectool?

[nealmcb]

The util/ectool utility seems to be the only way to read the fan speed on some Framework models:
Fan speed - where is it reported to the OS? - Framework Laptop 13 / Linux - Framework Community)

It would be great if Framework supported the ectool as a package in Debian / Ubuntu, so we didn't have to compile it ourselves.

Since this repo is so large, I ended up using the extract of ectool at https://gitlab.howett.net/DHowett/ectool.git and figuring out how to build it with cmake, despite that being a bit nonstandard according to ChatGPT since it doesn't rely on a build directory.

cmake .
make
src/ectool help

That is not true anymore.

Since Framework 13 Intel Core Ultra we report it through ACPI:

> sensors acpi_fan-acpi-0
acpi_fan-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
fan1:           0 RPM
power1:        0.00 W

And on all systems it is reported through the cros_ec_hwmon driver:

> sensors cros_ec-isa-0000
cros_ec-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1:                  0 RPM
cpu_f75303@4d:       +40.9°C
top_skin_f75303@4d:  +36.9°C
local_f75303@4d:     +32.9°C
battery_temp@b:      +28.9°C
peci-temp:           +57.9°C
charger_temp@9:      +33.9°C

Yes, ectool is not easy to build in this repository, you need the whole ChromeOS chroot: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/HEAD/docs/getting_started_quickly.md

We have our own tool now as well: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/framework-system
