Draft: main/linux-firmware: add python to makedeps, add separate dedup stage

Emil Velikov requested to merge xexaxo/aports:fw-upstream-tweaks into master

Recently upstream has started running check_whence.py prior to the installation process, to ensure the WHENCE metadata is in the correct format.

In addition, the de-duplication stage is no longer forced onto everyone. So anyone interested, can run the separate target.

Both of those are done by yours truly, so direct any rotten tomatoes^W^Wpraise towards me ;-)

Team, please note that I'm not an Alpine person so this PR might be a wee bit broken ;-)

OOC do you have permissions from the RPi folks to distribute the extra firmware blobs - be that bluez or non-free? Last I checked, some of those lacked any licensing/distribution information.
