export-noobs does not have any configuration possibility (skip, compression level) #628

There is possibility to create a special empty file SKIP_IMAGES to skip images creation, but there is no possibility to skip just NOOBS, e.g. SKIP_NOOBS file.

There is no possibility to configure compression for NOOBS. There is already COMPRESSION_LEVEL but it is related just to DEPLOY_COMPRESSION but not to noobs and xz -6 tooks ages or can fail on some platforms (#479). It probably does not make sense to use the same level for both, because it has a different meaning.

NOOBS is being deprecated, so chances are that that will be removed from pi-gen entirely in the near future.
