  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.
