[SRU] Add Microchip PIC64GX Curiosity Kit support

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Add the 'Microchip PIC64GX Curiosity Kit' to db/all.db

[ Impact ]

 * We want to publish a preinstalled server image for the Microchip PIC64GX Curiosity Kit in the 24.04.1 release.

 * flash-kernel is needed for copying the device-tree to the place where GRUB picks it up.

[ Test Plan ]

 * Remove file /etc/flash-kernel/machine
 * Run `flash-kernel $(uname -r)` on the Microchip PIC64GX Curiosity Kit and on the Microchip Icicle kit. Check that the relevant device-trees are copied (microchip/pic64gx-curiosity-kit.dtb, microchip/mpfs-icicle-kit.dtb respectively).

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * Updating device-trees on the new or existing boards might fail. Therefore test both cases.

[ Other Info ]

I tested flash-kernel 3.107ubuntu9~24.04.1 both on an Icicle Kit and a PIC64GX 1000 Curiosity kit.

Installing the device specific device-tree worked fine. The correct device-trees were installed.
