sysutils/devcpu-data: Split off two new ports for vendor data

sysutils/devcpu-data is now just an RC script that optionally depends on
two new ports, sysutils/devcpu-data-amd and sysutils/devcpu-data-intel.
The two new ports each contain vendor microcode data.

While here:

- Set missing license information.  The license was obtained from
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/LICENSE.amd-ucode

- Update varaible ordering per portclippy

sysutils/devcpu-data: Provide a file for loading Intel updates at boot

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.

sysutils/devcpu-data follow up commit to 20180108 Intel microcode update.

Run cpucontrol -e after microcode update to refresh cpu flags.  If running
on an older system without -e, fail silently.

Log any upgrade output via logger to /var/log/messages.

Add an instructional pkg-message for users.
