Make bootgen-xlnx a transitional package without real contents

xilinx-bootgen created by Debian Project official developer is available
on Debian and Ubuntu archives. bootgen-xlnx maintained by Canonical is
unnecessary now. So, make bootgen-xlnx a transitional package and make
it depend on xilinx-bootgen.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xilinx-bootgen
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xilinx-bootgen

[Test Plan]
xlnx-firmware depends on bootgen-xlnx. Make sure there is no dependency issue after upgrading bootgen-xlnx
1. install bootgen-xlnx (2022.1-0ubuntu1) and xlnx-firmware (2022.1-2-0ubuntu1)
2. upgrade bootgen-xlnx and then check if xilinx-bootgen is installed
3. Check if boot.bin generated by xilinx-bootgen can work well.

[Where problems could occur]
Some packages like xlnx-firmware depend on bootgen-xlnx. Need to make sure that a workable boot.bin can be generated after upgrading bootgen-xlnx.
