[Suggestion] Add PinePhone modem firmware flash tools

[PReDiToR]

To give Biktorg and other community members a standard environment to do firmware flashing with a known OS and toolset, having a button on JumpDrive that drops to a shell to run the install or recovery scripts may be helpful. Even an ncurses or bash menu to automate it.

Having a full stack for networking is beyond the scope of my suggestion, but having a FAT32 partition on the end of the image to copy latest files to may be very little extra work.

There's no way this tool can be distributed legally, as the qfirehose utility provided by Quectel is proprietary.

CC: @MartijnBraam, what do you think about this?

Out of scope

No need to ship firmware or propietary tools. Too many problems, too much maintenance. Just a stable install of android-tools is a good starter kit.

TBH, I don't see a reason why we should add this. People can just boot to a live system (or a Arch Linux Barebone install), download everything needed and install/patch the modem. Can we please keep this as a simple recovery tool for devices and not a recovery tool for everything connected?
