This saves an extra decompression step.

TODO:

  • Backport this to flatcar-4722
  • Update the documentation

```
$ du --si flatcar_production_oraclecloud_image.img*

Pull request overview

This PR updates the VM image build automation to avoid compressing Oracle Cloud (OCI) VM images, eliminating an unnecessary decompression step downstream with negligible size savings.

Changes:

  • Treat oraclecloud VM images as --image_compression_formats=none in the VM build loop so the uncompressed artifact is kept.
