Brian Conway requested to merge bconway_update_ucode_firmware_installboot into master Jul 27, 2023

Replace undocumented -i flag (for Intel) with -u (for ucode/microcode). Users of the default, all-firmware approach are unaffected.
Move updating of biosboot(8) and boot(8) out of upgrade.sh and into rc.resflash. A mere two reboots will now be required to update all bootloaders, rather than two upgrades.
Update README.md.
Version bump.
