Wireless: Update RTL8852BE wifi driver

[Dave]

Firmware 0.27 was added in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2002601 but there has been an update submitted by Realtek which resolves crash issues of the driver related to DMA.

New firmware file is up in kernel: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/log/rtw89/rtw8852b_fw-1.bin?showmsg=1

Ideally updated for both Lunar and Jammy :-)

@kobako The full thread of the problem can be seen in https://<email address hidden>/T/#u

This bug report is mainly a preemptive request to get the latest stable driver on.

A few error logs below.

* Note: these were not gathered in an Ubuntu image, but rather a minimal 6.2 kernel linux one running firmware 0.27, thus cannot run "apport-collect"
