[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/2] Support compressed firmwares

Fedora 34 only provides compressed firmwares.
Introduce an internal driver helper to handle transparently compression.
I chose libarchive for decompressing as it seems widely available and
DPDK had used it in the past.
Windows support only matters for net/ice and firmware loading was skipped
in this driver before this series. Since I don't know if/how we want to
load firmwares on Windows, I let an empty stub for this OS.
This series has been compile tested on Linux (I'll trust the CI for
others OSes).
I only tested basic init with a net/ice device (no DCF test).
So please drivers maintainers, check nothing is broken.
