firmware: Add back how to include firmwares into the kernel image
...
The instruction was a part of archived xf86-video-{amdgpu,radeon} kernel
configuration section.
Remove the kernel configurations from AMDGPU and Radeon because they
really should belong to the Mesa page or Xorg Server page.

Well, my script did not handle package names with dashes correctly. So
some User Note links were mistakely removed. Recheck removed links

firmware: stop using late loading
...
The kernel dev describes late loading as "just lottery and broken".
From Linux 5.19 it will produce a warning and taint the kernel. And, we
can simply compare the microcode version number to know if there is an
update so there is no reason to use late loading at all.
Update the example for Intel microcode by the way.

Update to fetchmail-6.4.27.
Rewording about the examples in Intel microcode, they are old and
that machine now runs version 0xec (although I guess they will soon
stop providing newer updates for Skylake) and of course the kernel
versions are way out of date.
