Rather than being able to decompress only the payloads of bzImage
containers, extend the logic to also decompress simple compressed ELF
images. At once, allow uncompressed bzImage payloads.

This is a prerequisite for native EFI booting support (where, in the
absence of a capable secondary boot loader, the image will always be
in compressed form).
