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
bad WHENCE files.

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"?
