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 Reviewed by: decke, emaste, markj Approved by: sbruno (maintainer) Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D32349

+This port uses the cpuctl(4) microcode update facility to keep your Intel
+processor's firmware up-to-date.
+
+Updating your microcode can help to mitigate certain potential security
+vulnerabilities in CPUs as well as address certain functional issues that could,
+for example, result in unpredictable system behavior such as hangs, crashes,
+unexpected reboots, data errors, etc.
