The copy-firmware.sh script continues to grow new options and adding
bespoke make targets for them all isn't really sustainable. This
introduces a COPYOPTS variable that can be set to pass arguments
directly to the script via a make invocation. For now we just
include it on the 'install' target to preserve the existing behavior
of the rest.

A number of distributions don't include rdfind by default. This is an
optimization, so make it optional via a --ignore-duplicates option and a
new make target.
Distributions that include rdfind should add it as a dependency for
their linux-firmware package. Those that don't should use the new
target or option.

The "which" utility is not guaranteed to be installed either, and if it
is, its behavior is not portable either. This means that when rdfind /
pre-commit are installed, the `which` check will report a fatal error
because the which tool did not exist and the shell returned a nonzero
status when attempting to fork+exec. If it did exist, it might not be an
implementation of `which` that returns nonzero when commands do not
exist.
Conversely, the "command -v" shell builtin is required to exist in all
POSIX 2008 compliant shells, and is thus guaranteed to work everywhere.
For some in-depth discussions on the topic, see:
- https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/081
- https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/85249/why-not-use-which-what-to-use-then/85250#85250
Examples of open-source shells likely to be installed as /bin/sh on
Linux, which implement the 15-year-old standard: ash, bash, busybox,
dash, ksh, mksh and zsh.
A side benefit of using the POSIX portable option is that it requires
neither an external disk executable, nor (because unlike "which", the
exit code is reliable) a subshell fork. This therefore represents a mild
speedup.

The package would put all files into /lib/firmware/updates to avoid
conflicting with distro packages.
The package is also intentionally named to avoid conflicts with
distro packages.

This target produces a tarball following the most recent git tag.
The tarball contains firmware binaries that have been de-duped.

The kernel has supported compressed firmware for quite some time. So
let's add a couple of targets to produce that. In practical terms this
means it we'll use ~5x times less space on disk.
Reportedly the amd ucode, needs to be uncompressed _within_ the
initrd in order to work. Using compressed ucode in late load just works.
Ideally this will be addressed by the initrd generators, but considering
the files are tiny in size let's skip the compression.
v2
- commit message, skip compression for files annotated as Raw
v3
- rebase

mkdir -p creates paths that are bound to user's settings and therefore
can lead to different file mode bits of the base paths accross different
machines.
Use install instead, as this tool is not prone to such behavior.

Silence the make echo'ing, so the output is cleaner.
Add an exit code to check_whence.py, so we can get a real failure for

The current make-install procedure leaves lots of garbage files that
aren't really firmware files in /lib/firmware.
Instead of copy-all-and-prune approach, copy only the listed files and
links in WHENCE by make-install for assuring only the proper firmware
files.

The script compares the files listed in WHENCE (or otherwise expected)
and the files known to git, and reports all differences as errors.
Add a 'check' rule to the Makefile that runs this.

One more step on the road to entirely eliminating the concept of
packages. I adapted the installation rules from the Fedora
spec file.
They should clearly be less lame, but to do so we'd need more formal
rules about which files should be installed. Maybe just limit it to
things ending in ".bin" or ".fw"?
