    Fix link check copied from firmware-nonfree
    
    - d/b/check_upstream.py: Check links if distribution status is
      free, not non-free
    - d/c/defines: Add empty links-excluded field

    d/b/check_upstream.py: Check for links not included in binary packages
    
    Check for and report links listed in WHENCE that aren't included in
    any binary packages, similarly to what we do for files.
    
    The checks are a bit different, though:
    
    - Since these links are only defined in WHENCE and created by
      copy-firmware.sh, they aren't affected by debian/copyright's
      Files-Excluded.  So check that the link *target* is not excluded,
      and also support a new config field in debian/config/defines for
      symlinks we want to exclude.  There are some compatibility links in
      the top-level firmware directory that we probably shouldn't bother
      adding.
    
    - Check that the link target is a file listed in the same group.
      Handling links to directories, or files in another group, would be
      much more complicated to do correctly.

    For firmware-free, update the update_file() call for source code too.

    d/b/check_upstream.py: Ignore file existence when checking license status
    
    The tests for file existence here date from when firmware-nonfree was
    a native package, or immediately after.  They don't make sense now,
    because whether a file will be copied from upstream into the source or
    binary is determined by the exclusion and inclusion patterns that we
    are already checking.
    
    Rearrange the per-file checks so we first check whether the file will
    be included in the source package, and never check whether the file is
    currently present.

    For firmware-free, adjust the patch to cover all 3 distribution
    states.

    d/b/check_upstream.py: Remove support for encoding file version in filename
    
    Commit 658f5e733956 removed support in debian/bin/gencontrol.py for
    extra or overriding files under debian/config that included a version
    suffix in their filename.  However check_upstream.py also supported
    this, and doesn't need to any more.  Remove that support.

    Move Python debian_linux.firmware module into debian_firmware package
    
    This is actually a copy rather than a move, since debian_linux is
    supposed to be copied from src:linux.  I will delete it from src:linux
    later.
    
    Update the one script that uses it.

    Replace sys.path manipulation in debian/bin with symlink to debian_firmware
    
    Use a symlink to the debian_firmware package under debian/bin, the
    same way we do with the debian_linux package.  Remove the
    now-redundant change to sys.path in several scripts in debian/bin.

    Change our filename pattern matching to handle '**' without following '/'
    
    Our filename pattern matching is supposed to follow the behaviour of
    glob.glob or pathlib.Path.glob.  That means we should handle '**'
    without a following '/' as matching all descendents.  Currently
    config.pattern_to_re effectively treats it as equivalent to '*'.
