[PATCH] Add missing Atheros firmware files

When using the Ubuntu Core 22 kernel in an Asus Zenbook UX22,
this error is shown in journalctl:

    usb 1-1-1: Direct firmware load for ar3k/AthrBT_0x01020200.dfu failed with error -2
    Bluetooth: Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x01020200.dfu
    Bluetooth: Loading patch file failed
    ath3k: probe of 1-1.1:1.0 failed with error -2

and, of course, bluetooth doesn't work.

This patch adds the missing files, and makes bluetooth work.
