[Bug 1872059] [NEW] missing hardware/runtime info when reporing linux-firmware bugs via apport

Updated Description to match SRU requirements for bionic

[Impact]
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 18.04 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]
Very limited, as we are just adding a symlink from linux-firmware to the linux source package hook. this change has been available in Focal and Groovy without problem
