Since we disabled Bluetooth support in the kernel a long time ago due to
security reasons, these do not serve any purpose anymore. Therefore, do
not ship them and delete them on existing installations.

This reverts commit 77e3829dc1.
For the time being, shipping this was found to be too difficult, since
we cannot get linux-firmware down to an acceptable size limit.
Compressing the firmware on installations would work, but takes about 4
minutes on an Intel Xenon CPU alone, hence it is an unacceptable
workload to do for IPFire installation running on weaker hardware.
Therefore, we do not proceed with this at the moment.

This firmware is required for a switch ASIC which we build the kernel
module for, but which is probably not usable with IPFire.
This saves about 40 MiB of compressed firmware space.

This patch enabled that we can compress any firmware files on disk. This
will save some space since /lib/firmware is becoming larger with every
release.
From formerly 828MiB, this is now using ~349MiB which is a saving of
about 480MiB on disk. This is helping us a lot fighting to contain the
distribution to 2GB on /.
Some other firmware that is installed in other packages is not
compressed with this patch which is a bit sad, but potentially not worth
the effort.
In order to ship this change with a Core Update, it might be intuitive
to remove /lib/firmware first and then extract the new update with all
new files. However, I do not know if this all will compress as well as
before since now the files are already individually compressed. It might
be a challenge to ship this.

Core Update 158 specifically ships files that are new or have changed to
keep the size of the update down.
