1. Set deviceinfo_flash_offset_base to 0x00000000.
2. Enable deviceinfo_bootimg_qcdt, and make dt.img for it.
Directly use zImage instead of zImage-dtb for smaller boot.img size.
3. Reduce kernel size by disable xz, lzma and bz2 compressing.
4. Update kernel to the last version in LineageOS repository.
Please note that it is ONLY TESTED on XT1079 "thea", aka Moto G 2014 LTE.
However, "thea" and "titan" are nearly identical, sharing same kernel
and defconfig on LineageOS, etc.

The `msm-fb-refresher` updates the screen for msm based devices. It is
not needed for all devices, so we had some extra code in the initramfs,
that would only add it when the `deviceinfo_msm_refresher` variable was
set. However, we are able now to add files to initramfs hooks, so this
hack can be removed and simplify everything.
Changes:
* Remove `deviceinfo_msm_refresher` from all deviceinfos
* Add sanity check for it
* Move all `deviceinfo` sanity checks to an extra function
* `postmarketos-mkinitfs`: remove code for msm refresher
* `msm-fb-refresher`: add initramfs hook
* Rename deviceinfo variable flash_methods to flash_method
* Update pmb.config.deviceinfo_attributes / add sanity check
* Add test case that parses all deviceinfo files
* Packaged libsparse
libsparse from the Android project provides multiple tools like img2simg
and simg2img.
These are used to split a large image for the system partition into
separate smaller chunks with sparse headers
This is required for several devices (at least bullhead, fp2 and titan)
because it fixes the "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" error

* Added new variable deviceinfo_flash_sparse (fixes#299)
Right after the system image is generated, pmbootstrap checks this
variable. In case it is true, run img2simg on it
* motorola-titan: enable deviceinfo_flash_sparse
* libsparse: use source from github: anestisb/android-simg2img
It is not that easy to use the upstream archive because everytime
you download it, the files have the current date as creation date
and that makes the file have a different checksum every download
