focal linux-firmware package omits amdgpu/navi12 firmware

Bug description:
[Impact]
The 20.04 LTS linux-firmware package list was cut before the
amdgpu/navi12* firmware files were upstreamed to the Linux kernel
repository, which is unfortunate because this hardware is older than
some other included firmware (navi14*), and the firmware is required
for using the AMDGPU kernel module on AWS EC2 cloud instances with AMD
GPUs.
The files are included in 21.04 and 21.10, but to date they have not
been included in the LTS hardware-enablement releases for 20.04. It
would be helpful to include the navi12 firmware files for the next
LTS+HWE release, since 22.04 isn't due out for a while.
Without this firmware it is difficult to get AWS EC2 G4ad instances
working with Ubuntu, as customers need to manually download and
install the firmware from a reputable source and put it into the
appropriate directory, which is not the experience they expect on
hardware that is over a year old with the most recent HWE release.
[Test Case]
See above.
[Fix]
Backport amdgpu/nav12* from linux-firmware Jammy.
[Where Problems Could Occur]
Graphics problems, kernel crashes on machines with AMD GPU.
[Notes]
This is required for the HWE kernel so not updating linux-firmware in
Impish.
