Robert Marko bab3ae2ee7 tools: prefer gz or bz2 tarballs
In the light of recent XZ events, and fundamental XZ issues lets work on
moving away from using XZ.

So, use gz compressed tarballs as sources whenever possible.

dwarves only offers bz2 compressed tarballs, so use those as size
difference is minor compared to XZ.

Weijie Gao 53e3851646 tools: add util-linux
since kernel 6.4, commit bca2f3a9406b ("efi/zboot: Add BSS padding
before compression") introduces the use of hexdump to padding the
EFI kernel binary before compression.

util-linux which containing hexdump should then be compiled as a host
tool to guarantee not breaking the kernel build process.
