This patchset adds the support for zlib compressed kernel images
(Image.gz) for arm64 kexec-tools.

This was discussed a bit with the arm64 kernel maintainers (see [0]) and
after discussing the pros and cons of adding this support in
kernel-space v/s in user-space, we decided it makes more sense to add
this support to the user-space kexec-tools.

Note that this series adds support for unsigned arm64 Image.gz files
only as signing an Image.gz type file is not a easy implementation from
kexec-tools p-o-v. Also even standard signing tools like sbsign fail to
recongize the Image.gz format:

 $ sbsign --key certs/signing_key.pem  --cert certs/signing_key.pem Image.gz
   Invalid DOS header magic

... because that gzip file isn't a PE32+ that can be loaded by UEFI.
So I will work on the same in coming days and try to send a RFC
patchset for the same later on.
