The last firmware change for the in-kernel firmware source code was back
in 2013. Everyone has been relying on the out-of-tree linux-firmware
package for a long long time.
So let's drop it, it's baggage we don't need to keep dragging around
(and having to fix random kbuild issues over time...)

Although it wasn't actually using ihex records before, we use the Intel
HEX record format for this firmware -- because that gives us a simple
way to split it into separate chunks internally as we need, without
loading each part as a separate file.
