Hi folks,
I would like to bring a new mkinitcpio package to [testing],
to finally cleanup my archboot initcpio workaround hacks.

Adressing the following issues on FS:

- Adding NEW parameter MODULES_DECOMPRESS to mkinitcpio.conf:
 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72882
 The old behaviour of decompressing modules stays the default

- Adding full symlink support:
 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73493

- Allow reproducable builds in case of /var/cache exists in initramfs:
 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73817

- Added zst firmware compression support for future kernel versions

The proposed patch to add is located here:
https://pkgbuild.com/~tpowa/symlink-compression.patch
Thanks for your feedback.
greetings
tpowa
