  missing hardware/runtime info when reporing linux-firmware bugs via

Bug description:
  linux-firmware doesn't install any package hooks for apport, so it
  will only carry some default items leaving hardware list, kernel
  messages unattached. Suggest symlink /usr/share/apport/package-hooks
  /source_linux-firmware.py to source_linux.py as other linux image debs
  do in bug 1847967.

  Test Case
  ---------
  1) On an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system run 'apport-cli linux-firmware'.
  2) Choose 'View report'
  3) Observe that 'ProcFB' is not collected

  With the version of apport from -proposed 'ProcFB' will be in the
  report.

  
  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  None, as we are just adding a symlink from linux-firmware to the linux source package hook.
