Apply commit 581ae3a (linux-4.19.57: Enable CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP). We don't want to maintain a separate crash kernel but use our normal kernel as a crash kernel. Enable CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE.
Add the current output of `make savedefconfig`. For whatever reason `CONFIG_PCI` was removed, so manually add it back, so, for example, S-ATA still works.
Enable ways to store Linux messages in case of panics.
config PSTORE
tristate "Persistent store support"
select CRYPTO if PSTORE_COMPRESS
default n
help
This option enables generic access to platform level
persistent storage via "pstore" filesystem that can
be mounted as /dev/pstore. Only useful if you have
a platform level driver that registers with pstore to
provide the data, so you probably should just go say "Y"
(or "M") to a platform specific persistent store driver
(e.g. ACPI_APEI on X86) which will select this for you.
If you don't have a platform persistent store driver,
say N.
That implicitly selects the option `EFI_VARS_PSTORE` below.
config EFI_VARS_PSTORE
tristate "Register efivars backend for pstore"
depends on EFI_VARS && PSTORE
default y
help
Say Y here to enable use efivars as a backend to pstore. This
will allow writing console messages, crash dumps, or anything
else supported by pstore to EFI variables.
Fixes: #1249
As MarIuX does not run on laptops, unselect this option. Mimic commit 4ea3ed2 (linux-5.3: Update configuration).

This creates slightly smaller images, and decompresses much faster. [1]

Linux 5.4-rc1 [1] is available, so remove the 5.3 Linux kernels, which were never installed on the distmaster – especially as the proprietary Nvidia driver was not packaged for them. [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/30/642

These were only used for testing, but as the packages exist in
/src/mariux, add the corresponding beefiles to the git history. Note, as these versions were never installed on the distmaster, the bee files are removed in the end.
Tested on rabammel and machmal.
