Remove bootanimation zip

For some reason, the bootanimation program runs during boot but it
doesn't display anything on the screen.

I've tried to run it at very early boot by using init=/path/to/bash.
While it's possible to use a bash built with Guix, we then end up
being unable to run Android utilities because for some reason apexd
refuses to run (it probably need to be able to get/set properties to
run).

And without apexd we can't run most binaries (including
/system/bin/sh, /system/xbin/bash or bootanimation).

As bootanimation seems to require surfaceflinger, I've tried to
disable the com.android.systemui after boot but I didn't manage to do
it in a way that enabled me to launch bootanimation.

Remains the debug through prints or LOG statements, but would probably
take a long time to do.

At the end it was easier to do in the kernel than trying to debug
why the bootanimation program does not display anything.

The downside of that approach is that it takes up some precious space
in Linux.

It would also be interesting to look if Linux can select the image
that is best suited to the display resolution or if we only need
to add only one image in Linux. In the later case we would need a
kernel image for each native display resolution.
