Title:
  Make bootgen-xlnx a transitional package without real contents

Status in bootgen-xlnx package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  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.
