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