@vahid-dan reported a issue with extracting the rpi images with
Gnome's Archive Manager:
"Ubuntu Archive Manager cannot extract the file and it just
throws a general error message: "An error occurred while
extracting files".
<https://forum.lede-project.org/t/corrupted-pre-built-v18-06-0-rc2-image-for-rpi>
@blogic told me to split the single sdcard.img.gz for the RPi
into a sysupgrade and a factory image for all brcm2708 targets.
The factory images will have no metadata attached, this way
these utilities that can't deal with the attached metadata will
not fail for no reason.

(cherry picked from commit 7516a96011)
This patch adds a image with squashfs as the root filesystem.
A rootfs_data partition will be generated on the first boot
and placed inside the rootfs partition (just after the squashfs
image).
advantages:
- it is possible to migrate from an existing -ext4
installation and back via sysupgrade.
- existing partition layout will not be lost.
- slightly smaller image size.
- support for attendedsysupgrade
disadvantages:
- needs f2fs + tools as well. This is because fs-tools decides on the
blocksize of the sdcard. So either f2fs or ext4 can get choosen as
the rootfs_data filesystem (depends on the size of the root partition).
- rootfs_data is placed into the rootfs partition. This makes
it difficult for tools that expect a /dev/mmc0pX device.
It also makes it difficult for data recovery tools since they
might not expect to find a embedded partition or will be
confused.
For people with existing build configurations: make sure to include mkf2fs
and f2fsck package into the image... Otherwise the new -squashfs image will
boot of a ram-overlay and won't keep the configurations after a reboot.

This reverts commit 6c2e1ff80f.
GNU gzip does not fail when the image filename already contains the .gz
extension, this is a problem specific to pigz. Revert the commit, as we
now gzip the image twice.

The gzip step in the sdcard image build fails because the image filename
already has the gzip extension. This results in an empty image file, to
which the metadata is finally appended.
Remove the .gz extension from the image filename to fix this.

Use the values populated by the generic board detect function. The
first compatible from the device tree source file will be the board
name in userspace. The model property from the device tree source file
will be the model name.
Change the board name where used in the userspace and drop the target
specific board detect, to use the generic one.

This patch converts all the raspberrypi images to utilize
the common metadata-based image verification.
Note: the CM1 and CM3 currently use the same "rpi-cm"
boardname.

64 bit support for Raspberry Pi 3 is experimental. However, bcm2709 subtarget
should serve as a stable and compatible 32 bit support.

This adds support for Raspberry Pi 3 on the bcm2709 subtarget, in order to
keep 32 bit image support when 64 bit support is added on bcm2710 subtarget.

It is used by a core build template, so the variable should be

This update also adds individual download of firmware files instead of fetching
every file on the repository (10-MiB vs 100+MiB).
Also copy Linux license from kernel directory instead of using the rpi-firmware
one.

Implement sysupgrade for Raspberry Pi, similar to the way it is done on x86:
The config files are saved in the boot partition and moved to where they are
normally expected in preinit.
Also add optional gzip compression for the SD card image, since this can save
a lot of space (76M vs 6M), also similar to x86.

* update the bootcode.bin to the newest version
- gpu/cpu mem split is now configured through config.txt, so no need
to create more than one sd card image (just edit the config.txt)
- bootcode.bin now supports the never revision 2 raspberry pis
* add a commented prepopulated config.txt for easier config changes
