[arch-dev-public] New core package: linux-firmware

[Thomas Bächler]

As a followup to a discussion on [arch-general] in the Linux 2.6.34
thread ([1] and others), I think we should do the following:

- Create a linux-firmware package from the linux-firmware.git tree.
- Make that package conflict and replace all other firmware that it
obsoletes:
replaces=('kernel26-firmware'
           'ar9170-fw'
           'iwlwifi-1000-ucode'
           'iwlwifi-3945-ucode'
           'iwlwifi-4965-ucode'
           'iwlwifi-5000-ucode'
           'iwlwifi-5150-ucode'
           'iwlwifi-6000-ucode'
           'rt2870usb-fw'
           'rt2x00-rt61-fw'
           'rt2x00-rt71w-fw')
All other firmware packages contain only files that are not part of
linux-firmware.
- Remove the firmware from the kernel26 PKGBUILD, only use the
linux-firmware package instead

I'm putting a package with the according conflicts/replaces to testing.
Please comment, test it thoroughly and give feedback.
