[Bug 1885248] Re: Update intel-microcode to latest upstream release 20200616 to fix possible regression in 06-5e-03/0x000506e3

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

Debian will also issue such an update, but we have both "works" and
"fails" reports of 0x506e3.

We're waiting for some more data re. 0x806eX and 0x906eX, but the
situation there is far less clear.

Bug description:
  As a result of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-
  microcode/+bug/1882890 the microcode for 06-4e-03 was reverted from
  the most recent intel-microcode release to the previous one - Intel
  has subsequently released a new upstream release
  https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-
  Files/releases/tag/microcode-20200616 which includes this revert *as
  well as a revert for the 06-5e-03/0x000506e3 microcode too*. This
  should also be updated in Ubuntu to ensure we do not suffer any
  unexpected regressions on these platforms too.
