gen_initramfs.sh: create_initramfs(): Always show warning that
--microcode-initramfs is deprecated
Now that we can generate amd-uc.img via sys-kernel/linux-firmware[initramfs] and
intel-uc.img via sys-firmware/intel-microcode[initramfs] tell all users that
--microcode-initramfs is deprecated.
Loading microcode via /boot/{amd,intel}-uc.img instead of embedding into
initramfs is recommended because this will allow user to update microcode
independently of initramfs updates through package updates.
