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.

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.

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versions are way out of date.

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.
