Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  We provide an image for the StarFive VisionFive 2 board. Upstream
  U-Boot now provides support for the board but it requires OpenSBI 1.3.
  We should strive to put a current U-Boot onto our preinstalled image.

  [ Test plan ]

  * Rebuild current u-boot package in ppa against new OpenSBI and test running Ubuntu 22.04/23.04 on QEMU, SiFive HiFive Unmatched, and PolarFire Icicle Kit with this U-Boot.
  * Use a rebuilt u-boot-nezha package to boot the Nezha D1.
  * Run apt-get update, apt-get install, and execute an application.
  * Run snap install and execute an application.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  OpenSBI is only used directly when running a RISC-V emulation in QEMU
  with the bios parameter.

  For all real hardware OpenSBI is built into U-Boot SPL. So getting
  OpenSBI onto boards will require a rebuild of U-Boot.

  Theoretically upgrading OpenSBI could

  * stop RISC-V boards from booting
  * cause failures when the operating system calls into OpenSBI
  * cause failures when OpenSBI emulates missing instructions.

  [ Other Info ]

  Upgrading to the same OpenSBI 1.3 that we use in Mantic instead of
  applying selected patches to 22.04/23.04 is easier to maintain in the
  long run.
