rtlwifi: Add code to read new versions of firmware
Changes in the drivers for RTL8723BE and RTL8821AE require corresponding changes in the firmware. This new firmware has been accepted into the Linux firmware repo. To handle the case where the kernel has been updated before the firmware, the new versions have been given new names. The code will attempt to read the new name, and fall back to the old one if the new one is not available.
