Extend the port so that users may easily apply microcode updates using
the method implemented in src r337715. For now, this just consists of
providing all Intel microcode update files concatenated together as a
single blob in /boot/firmware.

- Update Intel microcode to 0703 release.
-- intel-ucode-with-caveats/ --
This directory holds microcode that might need special handling.
BDX-ML microcode is provided in directory, because it need special commits in
the Linux kernel, otherwise, updating it might result in unexpected system
behavior.
OS vendors must ensure that the late loader patches (provided in
linux-kernel-patches\) are included in the distribution before packaging the
BDX-ML microcode for late-loading.

- Use new tool committed by Ed Maste of the FreeBSD Foundation to process
Intel microcode files into a format cpucontrol can process.
- Assume maintainer role for the time being. (approved by portmgr)

Either there is a problem with the Intel supplied microcode files or
cpucontrol does not yet understand how to process a micrcode update file
with multiple entries. For now, abort.

Intel provides prefabricated per-cpu microcode update files. We no longer need
a tool to extract them from the legacy microcode.dat store. This matches
what upstream linux distributions are doing now. Tested on my Intel machines
here and updates still succeed.

drop malfunctioning individual "AMD-XXX" files.
On the few machines that actually have microcode updates, chopping up the
microcode is incorrect and results in a failure to update. Don't do that.
I personally run this on my FX-8150 and this has been tested by a few others.

FreeBSD kernel changes to make use of the capabilities provided by the
new microcode update have not yet been committed. Since we do not yet
require them, allow more time for validation.

Use a freebsd.org hosted version of the amd microcode file fetched
in February of 2015. The amd64.org site has been down for a long time and
probably will never come back.

when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
