    VIA Nano: Add microcode updates files
    
    While we had support for updating microcode on the VIA Nano CPUs for a
    while now, we never included the actual microcode. Unlike, Intel and
    AMD CPUs, VIA microcode is not available for download, and was
    extracted from the vendor BIOS. It was not included in coreboot since
    we never had explicit permission to do so. I have just received
    confirmation from VIA that we can distribute the microcode.
