People don't like them and think they're errors.
Leave the __fw_install one though; when 'make firmware_install' does
nothing, it's best to have a 'Nothing to be done for...' message rather
than just doing nothing.

This means that we no longer need write access to the source tree while
doing 'make modules_install'.

Also fix unwanted rebuilds of the firmware/ihex2fw tool by including
the .ihex2fw.cmd file when present.

Not the straight conversion to binary which objcopy can do for us, but
actually representing each record with its original {addr, length},
because some drivers need that information preserved.
Fix up 'firmware_install' to be able to build $(hostprogs-y) too.

For 'make modules_install', install any firmware required by
the modules which are being installed.
Also add a 'make firmware_install' target which doesn't depend on the
configuration, but installs _all_ available in-kernel-tree firmware into
$(INSTALL_FW_PATH), which defaults to /lib/firmware. This is intended
for distributors to make arch-independent (and config-independent)
packages containing firmware.
