The /dev/microcode interface and microcode-ctl utility has
been deprecated in favor of the new kernel
/sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload interface as documented in:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/x86/microcode.rst
It expects the microcode binaries to be split out and loaded from
/lib/firmware, eg:
/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-01-01
/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-01-02
/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-01-06
/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-01-07
/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-01-09
...
This change does not affect the earlyfw cpio generated by inte-ucode.

Include the microcode from caveats as well since all kernels supported
have those patches. Also point to the new git repo and corrected
license.

Point to the the license from layer now that text .dat isn't supplied. And,
generate cpio from binary files.

The LIC_FILES_CHKSUM also needed to be updated, as the copyright
added the year 2018.

Remove the concept of the common directory and move all the recipes-* dirs
to the top level as a normal layer would be. layer.conf is updated appropriately
