Intel CyclonePeak wifi firmware

[AceLan Kao]

[Impact]
New Intel CyclonePeak Wifi cards require new firmware to enable.

[Fix]
To update the firmware we want only, backport the following 2 commits from iwlwifi tree for-upstream branch[1], and remove all 9000 series related firmwares.
   95a93535 iwlwifi: update -46 firmwares for 22260 and 9000 series
   68040ceb iwlwifi: add firmware for 22260 and update 9000 series -46 firmwares

1. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/linux-firmware.git

[Test Case]
Verified on AX200NGW & 22560NGW chips & Killer 1653 card, wifi works well.

[Regression Risk]
Low. This firmware is for new cards and new ABI, it won't affect current Intel wifi cards, and won't take effect on Bionic(4.15) kernel. Only iwlwifi DKMS driver or oem-osp1 kernel loads this firmware.
