upgrade amd64-microcode with new microcode & better initramfs hook
[Impact]
* New microcode is available
* It is hard to generate initrd, with all microcodes included because the initramfs hook ignores
preset defaults. Adjust hook to take preset defaults into account.
[Test Case]
* There is no testcase for new microcode, as it is unknown what has changed.
* Install new package, and check that initrd with default settings (i.e. modules=most) has amd64
microcode included. And that with modules=dep|list it only does so, if one is on AMD cpu.
* Install initramfs-tools-ubuntu-core from snap image PPA, the resulting initrd should contian
both amd64 and intel microcode, despite using modules=list, due to the conf.d default settings
it overrides.
[Regression Potential]
* New microcode is published without a changelog, thus it is unknown what it fixes or regresses,
yet it is recommeded to upgrade it. The 17h family microcode has been updated, almost doubling in size.
* The hook default behaviour is not changed, only integration with custom conf.d's is improved.
* This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
