c18f6acbec firmware: add a paragraph about regulatory.db

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.

89bdbf8c5a Tweak the firmware page:
· Intel re-released the latest microcode with a sensible license, no other changes.
· I have a laptop that needs firmware both for the ethernet post AND for bluetooth to get wired ethernet working.

c79668ec9c Update intel microcode details, and label the old AMD example as historic - I have no recent AMD machines where newer microcode is available than what is in the BIOS/EFI, and I'm not going to keep rebuilding that one just to update the example.

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.
