Simplify a way to sideload proprietary firmware

[lumag]

In case of Qualcomm HDK platforms not all the firmware is included into the NON-HLOS.bin image. Typically Adreno, IPA and Iris firmware are provided separately. Currently we have firmware-qcom-adreno.inc, which lets users to sideload Adreno firmware only. Let users provide all missing firmware files as an archive instead.

The first commit sets PROPRIETARY_URI to an empty string, but I can't see where it's getting set to something else. The second to last commit mentions PROPRIETARY_URI in the commit message, but it's not in the actual diff. So what does it do exactly?

@koenkooi those files are not distributable, so I have:

$ grep sm8350 conf/local.conf
NHLOS_URI:pn-firmware-qcom-sm8350-hdk = "file:///home/lumag/Projects/Qcomm/NHLOS/NON-HLOS-sm8350-1.0.bin"
PROPRIETARY_URI:pn-firmware-qcom-sm8350-hdk = "file:///home/lumag/Projects/Qcomm/NHLOS/proprietary-sm8350.zip"
DSPSO_URI:pn-hexagon-dspso-qcom-sm8350-hdk = "file:///home/lumag/Projects/Qcomm/NHLOS/dspso-sm8350.bin"

$ unzip -l /home/lumag/Projects/Qcomm/NHLOS/proprietary-sm8350.zip
