linux-firmware: restore and merge bluez-firmware
The attempt to Raspbian updated firmware blobs in packages separate from linux-firmware introduced unresolvable conflicts with the standard linux-firmware roll-up package. Revert to using an augmented linux-firmware recipe that overrides and adds firmware from two Raspbian repositories that have up-to-date images. Closes #244 Signed-off-by: Peter A. Bigot <pab@pabigot.com>
