Linux 6.7-rc1 looks for the venus (video) firmware in
qcom/venus-1.8/venus.mbn instead of qcom/venus-1.8/venus.mdt.
Let's install it in both places with a symlink so that the firmware
packages work for both older and newer Linux versions.
[ci:ignore-count]: lots of packages
[ci:skip-build] already built successfully in CI
Squash the packaged venus firmware blobs using pil-squasher so only
one file needs to be loaded rather than many small ones. Linux detects
squashed (.mbn) vs non-squashed (.mdt + .b*) based on file contents
(not file name) so it is fine to install venus.mbn to venus.mdt.
Add pmb:cross-native/!tracedeps to applicable firmware packages and
secure both with a test.
This sets the pmb:cross-native and !tracedeps options on all firmware-*
packages that are compatible with the native compilation method. A unit
test ensures the presence of both options while maintaining a list of
exempted packages.
