Commit 6889056f1e (support/scripts/genimage.sh: support creating a bmap
image) added unconditional gzip compression of the genimage outputs if
bmap-tools is enabled, which is problematic for a number of reasons:
- The gzip invocation is not reproducable (E.G. does not use -n)
- The original file is removed, dropping the sparse info
- It hardcodes policy, E.G. bmap supports a number of different compression
algorithms / compression may not be desired for all images / different
compression levels may be desired
So drop the compression step. If desired, compression can be done with a
post-image script.

The patch adds the possibility to create, in addition to the usual
image, an image of type bmap that drastically reduces the amount of
data that needs to be written to an SD card, resulting in time
savings.
It looks at whether BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_BMAP_TOOLS is enabled to decide
whether it should or not generate bmap tool images. It generates bmap
images for all images referenced in the genimage configuration file,
as long as they exist in $(BINARIES_DIR).

genimage makes a full copy of the given rootpath to ${GENIMAGE_TMP}/root
so passing TARGET_DIR would be a waste of time and disk space. We don't
rely on genimage to build the rootfs image, just to insert a pre-built
one in the disk image.

When called from BR2_ROOTFS_POST_IMAGE_SCRIPT, this script
ends up with following error:
Error: Missing argument
This is because, an extra positional argument is also passed
along with BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS. genimage.sh didn't
have support to parse positional and optional arguments
together.

This script is a wrapper for the genimage tool used by most boards.
The board postimage script can now call this script instead of invoking
genimage command themselves.
