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
