core/images: Temporarily add back the to-be-removed linux-firmware packages

In this commit we add back the removed packages for the following boards:

- RaspberryPi (this image is used on the RPI Zero and RPI Zero W, but not on the RPI Zero 2W)
- RaspberryPi 2
- Raspberrypi0-2w-64
- RaspberryPi 3
- RaspberryPi3-64
- RaspberryPi 4
- RaspberryPi 5
- RPI CM4
- Revpi Connect
- RevPi Connect S
- RevPi Connect 4

  raspberrypi3-unipi-neuron and raspberrypi4-unipi-neuron inherit
  the Pi3 and Pi4-64 machines

After the meta-balena removal PR will be merged,
a new major balenaOS release can perform the actual removal
by setting TEMPORARILY_ALLOWED_PACKAGES = "".

Also, drop setting firmware compression because this
already is enabled by default in meta-balena.
