firmware: update Intel microcode example for 11.2 release and CVE-2022-21233
Text only change.  But we'll need a SA for intel-microcode-20220809.

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.

83cc2cc372 Add 'Firmware for AMD/ATI amdgpu video chips'
Bruce noticed this was not explicity covered, my skim-reading
had noticed the details for ATI video chips without spotting that
was only for radeon.

In both the amdgpu and radeon xorg drivers, clarify that firmware
might have been provided in a modular build in /lib/firmware.

083a8d7ec7 Rework various items in About Firmware.
In particular, CPU microcode now that the affected AMD processors
can be identified. For both Intel and AMD determine the hex triplet.

Also, rework the Nvidia details to reflect the current situation.

bfd2ba3cfc Package update and some rewording:
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versions are way out of date.

85580446b2 Remove spaces at the end of lines
I know it is somewhat useless, but I don't like them for
two reasons: first they cannot be seen, and I do not like things I
cannot see. Second, git highlights them, and this is disturbing...

428cad4e55 Update intel microcode to 20210608
Also refresh the example, including the omitted lines for the
late reload - the claimed previous version (0xec) was a typo.

3179c69fe6 Firmware: update some details:
1. Intel (CPU) microcode - update the details for Skylake in the light
of the later release.

2. Video firmware - I had overlooked that Nvidia provided signed
firmware to linux-firmware in January and February for Turing GPUs
and that it is only needed for hardware acceleration so not
essential for working KMS. For completeness, also mention the
problematic Intel iGPU firmware for Skylake and later.

f2d5c26a8d Firmware: intel-microcode no longer needs a separate program. But on the balance of probabilities this does NOT address the AMT vulnerability. Also tweak the wording for video firmware - we now have nvidia firmware mentioned, and amdgpu is mentioned in the Xorg drivers.
