[Bug 1999096] Re: Upgrade `memtest86+` package to version 6.0.0

I'll prepare the backports to Jammy if backports team will accept it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/1998834
If you need check ram of computers where is not present legacy bios option you can do a cd or usb drive with the iso in the package (/usr/lib/memtest86+/memtest86+x64.iso) from 6.00 package.
I also used the iso of 5.31b from debian experimental since I started to works on it one year ago because 5.01 in debian/ubuntu live was not working on major of system.
6.00 had a major code rewrite and is "recent", I suppose is not possible will be migrate to stable (and probably need more tests and fixes before) and add in live iso (of LTS already released and still supported), and there is also no secure boot support for now: https://github.com/memtest86plus/memtest86plus/issues/25

Title:
  Upgrade `memtest86+` package to version 6.0.0

Status in memtest86+ package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The current version of `memtest86+` (v5) on all currently-supported
  Ubuntu versions cannot handle running under UEFI, which means that the
  option to run it doesn't appear in the GRUB boot menu when Ubuntu is
  installed or when booting from an Ubuntu live USB drive on those
  modern computers that have legacy BIOS mode disabled, which is
  somewhat common.

  Please upgrade the package to memtest86+ v6.0.0
  (https://memtest.org/), which includes both legacy BIOS and UEFI
  support.
