iwlwifi: Do not request unreleased firmware for IWL6000

Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/689416
Forwarded: not-needed

The iwlwifi driver currently supports firmware API versions 4-6 for
these devices.  It will request the file for the latest supported
version and then fall back to earlier versions.  However, the latest
version that has actually been released is 4, so we expect the
requests for versions 6 and then 5 to fail.

The installer appears to report any failed request, and it is probably
not easy to detect that this particular failure is harmless.  So stop
requesting the unreleased firmware.

The top-level Makefile warns if the compiler version string changes at
all between the kernel build and an out-of-tree module build.

We expect that major compiler version changes could introduce ABI

ensure that the same major compiler version is used.  But minor
version changes should not make a difference, so this exact version
comparison produces false warnings.

Since custom kernel packages don't have that, don't remove the version
comparison.  Instead, skip it if $(DEBIAN_KERNEL_NO_CC_VERSION_CHECK)
is non-empty.

The module.lds linker script is now built under the scripts directory,
where previously it was under arch/$(SRCARCH).

However, we package the scripts directory as linux-kbuild, which is
meant to be able to do support native and cross-builds.  That means it
shouldn't contain files for a specific target architecture without a
wrapper to select between them, and it doesn't appear that linker
scripts are powerful enough to implement such a wrapper.

Building module.lds in a different location would require relatively
large changes.  Moving it in the package build rules can work, but we
need to support custom kernel builds from the same source so we can't
assume it's moved.

Therefore, we move module.lds under the arch build directory in
rules.real and change Makefile.modfinal to look for it in both places.
