So, I think we agreed on IRC that the right thing to do here is to
remove the amd64 microcode from linux-firmware entirely, and remove the
Provides/Conflicts/Replaces, so both packages can be installed together.

The amd64 microcode license isn't suitable for main anyway (doesn't
allow modification or disassembly), so this is the best way forward.
