rpi-bootfiles: Resort to github APIs for tarballs

The firmware repo is huge ( 36G ) to clone is onerous using shallow clone tarballs require them to be pre-populated at some mirror which we don't have. Third option is to let github provide the tarball, there is concern that tarballs might change the compression etc and thus checksum would change that is something github would communicate to users in advance [1] Therefore this is the best solution for us right now. Also upgrade to latest while here and drop PR settings [1] https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/using-files/downloading-source-code-archives#stability-of-source-code-archives Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <[email protected]>
