Mimic what make_disc_trees.pl does, making it possible for hw-detect to
spot not only the /firmware/dep11 directory in netinst images, but also
on installation images with firmware added manually.
Rename pseudo-option to clarify it returns filenames and indices.
Keep generation disabled for bullseye (as an extra safeguard, even if we
have separate, per-release branches anyway): That's helpful information
but bullseye is a stable release, and changing even unofficial material
might not be the best idea. Be cautious by default, it's easy enough to
enable if desired.
Since that tool might be used without a caller that sources CONF.sh,
be explicit about the components in which firmware packages must be
searched:
- use "main contrib non-free" for bullseye;
- use "main non-free non-free-firmware" for bookworm and above.
non-free can go away once we have all we need in non-free-firmware.
Export some environment variables for generate_firmware_task (also
renaming SUITE to CODENAME).
Some gzip calls have --no-name, which disables both the original name
and timestamp; use -n (disables original name) and -m (disables original
timestamp) for pigz, for all calls.
Rather than use the firmware task which gets out of date, look for
firmware/microcode files directly in the Packages file. Check for
things installing in /lib/firmware, and add those packages.
