Remove configure, fix and check permissions, split out de-duplication

Emil Velikovrequested to merge
xexaxo/linux-firmware:split-dedup into main

In the process of checking across distros:

  • nobody uses the configure file - it's undocumented, so remove it
  • some distros explicitly fixup the file permissions - we might as well do it + enforce
  • some distros heavily patch copy-firmware.sh or otherwise need to disable the de-duplication

As mentioned in the last commit, the de-duplication is changed to opt-in, a message is printed at the end of install and multiple distributions have been informed about this.

@superm1 @jwboyer I think with these in, we should be good to release.

Thanks
