google-x64cros: drop oem-* packages and compress initramfs

Fixes #3095 (closed)

Currently google-x64cros cannot be installed to new devices or updated due to initramfs being too large. By removing oem-* packages, kernel modules included in the main initramfs are limited.

A better fix would be including most modules in the initramfs-extra, but that would require some changes to how mkinitfs handles module handling which is out of the scope of this MR currently. (Will most likely be added in a follow-up MR.)

these devices still need those configs

I understand, but this MR at least fixes building and installation for at least some devices. A further MR will be made to re-add these configs but install some of them to initramfs-extra. We could do that now, but we would have to manually reimplement the oem-* packages
