AWS: enable FPGA support in amd64 AWS kernels

[Kamal Mostafa]

CONFIG_FPGA needs to be enabled in linux-aws amd64 kernels (thereby supplying the fpga-mgr module), to support the AWS F1 instance type.

Delivering the fpga-mgr module via the 'linux-modules-extras' package is acceptable.

This config change only needs to be specifically applied to linux-aws/focal, since:

  linux-aws/bionic (aws-5.4) will pick it up from focal;
  linux-aws-groovy already has it enabled;
  linux-aws-xenial cannot support F1 anyway.

----------------------

[Impact]

 * Since fpga-mgr is inadvertently omitted from linux-aws, use of the F1 instance type requires the user to manually install linux-virtual or linux-generic, which is an annoyance.

 * This patch just enables the module in linux-aws as we do for other kernels.

 * Fwiw, fpga-mgr is actually (needlessly) already enabled for linux-aws/arm64 but disabled for linux-aws/amd64 (where its needed for F1).

[Test Case]

 * Install the linux-modules-extras package; modprobe fpga-mgr.

[Regression Potential]

 * None.

I have verified that the patch ^^ properly enables fpga-mgr on an AWS F1 instance.
