firmware_class: Refer to Debian wiki page when logging missing firmware

Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/888405
Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/1053764
Forwarded: not-needed
Last-Update: 2023-11-08

If firmware loading fails due to a missing file, log a second error
message referring to our wiki page about firmware.  This will explain
why some firmware is in non-free, or can't be packaged at all.  Only
do this once per boot.

Do something similar in the radeon drivers, where we have an early
check to avoid failing at a point where we cannot display anything.

Update 2023-11-08:
In bug 1053764 Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com> states
that the patch isn't needed anymore for amdgpu, so remove that part
of the patch
