commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=96b477abcb9e41603c059bef16d12608ba20f6d3
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2019.02.x

For early microcode loading, there is no need to install the individual
microcode files to /lib/firmware - So make that optional.

Let the option default to y for backwards compatibility, and select it from
iucode-tool as the init script relies on the /lib/firmware files.
