[Bug 1778738] Re: Default to early instead of auto when MODULES=most

[Julian Andres Klode]

** Description changed:

- MODULES=most should have microcode for all CPUs, so it's usable
- everywhere.
+ [Impact]
+ Initramfs for MODULES=most should build with all microcodes installed
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ Have both amd64-microcode and intel-microcode installed, and MODULES=most set. Test generated initramfs in both amd64 and intel machines and make sure the microcodes load.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ Some tools will fail to understand the initramfs, as it now has two cpio archives prepended (e.g. lsinitramfs skips intel microcode archive, as seen in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=886424)
