util-linux supports passing --disable-all-programs configure flag to
disable building anything that isnt then manually enabled.
So, lets switch to using that instead of manually having to disable all
tools we dont need.
However, current drawback is that there is no upstream support for enabling
building hexdump so I included a patch that is pending upstream[0].

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.

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.
