This is a "weak" conversion which converts straight back to using pages.
A full conversion should be performed at some point, hopefully by
someone familiar with the filesystem.

Two new capabilities are introduced here:
- The ability to store some blocks uncompressed.
- The ability to locate blocks anywhere.
Those capabilities can be used independently, but the combination
opens the possibility for execute-in-place (XIP) of program text segments
that must remain uncompressed, and in the MMU case, must have a specific
alignment. It is even possible to still have the writable data segments
from the same file compressed as they have to be copied into RAM anyway.
This is achieved by giving special meanings to some unused block pointer
bits while remaining compatible with legacy cramfs images.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
