Adjust to shellcheck removal in Alpine. Currently it's still in edge for
x86_64, but installation fails with:
ERROR: unable to select packages:
so:libffi.so.7 (no such package):
required by: shellcheck-0.7.2-r1[so:libffi.so.7]
Use the official static binary release from shellcheck instead of the
Alpine package. Version 0.7.2 is intentionally used instead of latest
8.0.0, since the latter generates a new warning. Let's unbreak CI first
before adjusting to a newer shellcheck version.

Many devices need proprietary firmware blobs. So far those blobs were
packaged and installed from the repository but this approach has many
drawbacks:
- The rootfs can only be used on a single device model.
- If a model has multiple variants that have diferent secire-boot key,
each must have it's own firmware blobs.
This makes maintaining packaged firmware very hard and outweights the
benefits of having a repeatable installation in most cases.
Instead we can load blobs dynamically from preexisting firmware
partitions that usually have same structure and contain the blobs we are
interested in.
The proposed scripts place symlinks to the blobs in a special dir that
then given to the kernel. Blobs from firmware/postmarketos (or another
dir that was set as extra path prior the script execution) will take
priority which allows to override some blobs (e.g. for deviecs with no
secure-boot)
