The bzip2 tool is not included in default installations.
On freshly installed systems, ./configure succeeds but 'make'

Add a check in ./configure to warn the user if bzip2 is missing.

It's only required for the edk2 binaries, isn't it? So should this maybe also check whether we build any of the i386-softmmu, x86_64-softmmu arm-softmmu or aarch64-softmmu targets and pass otherwise?

I have this on my TODO somewhere, because we extract the edk2 firmwares even if we only build MIPS/PowerPC.
