Makefile: Optionally generate a bmaptool map file

bmaptool(1), from the bmap-tools package, can write the used blocks
in a sparse disk image to media, while saving time and I/O by not writing
zeroes to the unused blocks. Typical use:

    make raspi2_bullseye.img.bmap raspi2_bullseye.img.xz
    ... upload those two files ...
    ... download those two files ...
    bmaptool copy raspi2_bullseye.img.xz /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic-_SD_MMC_*-0:0
