[Bug 1847587] [NEW] Add entries for Pi 4

Public bug reported:

Impact
======

Apt upgrades performed on a Raspberry Pi 4 complain about missing
database entries during the flash-kernel trigger. An updated version of
flash-kernel with a Pi 4 entry in the database is available in the
following PPA:

    https://launchpad.net/~waveform/+archive/ubuntu/ubpi4


Test Case
=========

* Boot the latest eoan daily on a pi3
* Migrate the boot config to operate on a pi4 (these steps won't be necessary once the gadget snap is updated):

    $ sudo -i
    $ . /usr/share/rpi-config-migration
    $ is_old_config && migrate_config

* Reboot the card on a pi4
* Run sudo /usr/sbin/flash-kernel
* Without the upgrade, it will report "Unsupported platform" with exit code 1
* Upgrade package to 3.98ubuntu4
* Re-run sudo /usr/sbin/flash-kernel
* With the upgrade, should report the usual "Using DTB: bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb", etc. with exit code 0


Regression Potential
====================

None; this change only adds the Pi 4 entry to the flash-kernel db. It
doesn't alter / remove any existing entries or change any code. The
worst case scenario is that it still doesn't work on the Pi 4.
