Update SRU test plans to add tested kernel version info.

@slyon, @tjaalton, you're making bug tracking, patches/symptoms mapping
more difficult.

** Description changed:

  [SRU Justification]
  
  [ Impact ]
  
  Failed to build against kernel v6.17-rc1.
  
  [ Test Plan ]
  
- 0. Install oem-6.17 kernel from noble-proposed
- 1. Install broadcom-sta-dkms from noble -proposed pocket
- 2. The dkms should rebuild itself against the running kernel automatically; 
if not rebuild them manually with:
+ 1. Install kernels >= 6.17. For Noble, linux-oem-6.17 is available:
+    $ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends --yes \
+        linux-oem-6.17
+ 
+ 2. For Questing and Noble, install also stock kernel to ensure we don't break 
existing setup:
+    $ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends --yes \
+        linux-generic
+ 
+ 3. Install broadcom-sta-dkms from noble -proposed pocket. The dkms
+ should rebuild itself against the running kernel automatically; if not
+ rebuild them manually with:
  
     $ sudo dkms install --force broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271 -k $(uname -r)
+    # With Questing
+    $ dkms status
+    broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271, 6.17.0-5-generic, x86_64: installed
+    # With Noble
+    $ dkms status
+    broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271, 6.17.0-1002-oem, x86_64: installed
+    broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271, 6.8.0-81-generic, x86_64: installed
  
- 3. Reboot to load the kernel module
- 4. The wl module should be loaded automatically and wireless lan should be 
usable as before.
- 5. There should not be any UBSAN warning in dmesg, e.g.:
- [ 28.822952] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in 
/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271/build/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:1938:4
- 
- Additionally, execute the same test (step 0-5) against the 6.8 kernel in
- Noble, to confirm it did not regress on the GA kernel.
+ 4. Reboot to load the kernel module
+ 5. The wl module should be loaded automatically and wireless lan should be 
usable as before.
+ 6. There should not be any UBSAN warning in dmesg, e.g.:
+    ```
+    [ 28.822952] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in 
/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271/build/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:1938:4
+    ```
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
  This doesn't affect the rest part of the system, and it doesn't
  introduce functional changes.
  
  [ Other Info ]
  
  This affects series with kernels >= 6.17. Nominate Questing and Noble
  for fixing.
  
  Kernel 6.17 will not be introduced in Plucky
