Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

This patch removes support for i586 according to the decision being
taken over a year ago.
It removes the architecture from the build system and removes all
required hacks and other quirks that have been necessary before.
There is no need to ship any changed files to the remaining
architectures as the removed code branches have not been used.

Notable changes as per https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/plain/NEWS:
Version 3.3 (Wed Oct 14 2020)
- [BUILD] Allow overriding build settings from the environment.
- [COMPATIBILITY] Document how the UUID fields are interpreted.
- [PORTABILITY] Don't use memcpy on /dev/mem on arm64.
- [PORTABILITY] Only scan /dev/mem for entry point on x86.
- Support for SMBIOS 3.3.0. This includes new processor names, new port
connector types, and new memory device form factors, types and
technologies.
- Add bios-revision, firmware-revision and system-sku-number to -s option.
- Use the most appropriate unit for cache size.
- Decode system slot base bus width and peers.
- Important bug fixes:
Fix Redfish Hostname print length
Fix formatting of TPM table output
Fix System Slot Information for PCIe SSD
Don't choke on invalid processor voltage
- Use the most appropriate unit for cache size.
Version 3.2 (Wed Sep 14 2018)
- [COMPATIBILITY] The UUID is now displayed using lowercase letters, per
RFC 4122 (#53569). You must ensure that any code parsing it is
case-insensitive.
- Support for SMBIOS 3.2.0. This includes new processor names, new socket
and port connector types, new system slot state and property, and support
for non-volatile memory (NVDIMM).
- Support for Redfish management controllers.
- A new command line option to query a specific structure by its handle.
- A new command line option to query the system family string.
- Support for 3 ThinkPad-specific structures (patch #9642).
- Support for HPE's new company name.
- Support UEFI on FreeBSD.
- Important bug fixes:
Fix firmware version of TPM device
Fix the HPE UEFI feature flag check
- (biosdecode) A new command line option to fully decode PIR information
(support request #109339).

Most of these files still used old dates and/or domain names for contact

Just some housekeeping... :-)
