[Sound-open-firmware] SOF/Intel: change of directory structure for firmware binaries

FYI, if anyone uses the latest SOF kernel branch (topic/sof-dev), there
was a change in the location of the files used by the Linux kernel for
Intel platforms:
firmware files are by default in /lib/firmware/intel/sof
topology files are in /lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg.
You can override this by adding module arguments to go back to the
previous setup.
modprobe sof-[pci|acpi]-dev fw_path=intel tplg_path=intel
This change was made so that firmware and topologies can be released
separately, and allow a contributor company to release support for
multiple platforms at the same time, with symlinks used for the
directories instead of individual files. It'll also help distros or OEMs
use non-default firmware locations for their own releases, if they
included non-public components or change the firmware configurations.
Sorry for the inconvenience in the transition.
