ipq40xx: use zImage for GL.iNet GL-B1300, GL-S1300 to shrink below 4096k

Browse Source 
In the "ipq40xx: switch to Kernel 5.10" discussion at GitHub,
Adrian noted [0] that these GL.iNet Conexa series devices,
GL-B1300 and GL-S1300 failed their image generation [1] as their gzipped
uImage kernel went above 4096k.

While notifying the vendor about this problem [2], I tested all U-Boot
releases from GL.iNet:
- they really fail to boot kernel above 4096k
- they don't support lzma: "Unimplemented compression type 3"
- but they boot zImage

Using zImage (xz compression) the kernel is 2909k which is
more than a megabyte away from the KERNEL_SIZE := 4096k limit.

The gzip compressed version would be 4116k.
