R11:5b4090e27da9: sysutils/cpu-microcode-intel: Dont depend on cpu-microcode-rc

Summary

All intel systems running 15.0 or 14.3 support loading at boot time
without cpu-microcode-rc, therefore, do not depend on it by default.
Update the package message with the current up-to-date instructions.

I don't understand ports yet and this might not be correct way to
achieve what I'm trying to do.

4–8	If we removed cpu-microcode-rc, I would feel more comfortable with this, but there are three ways for microcode to get updated, and two different microcode packages, and I think probably lots of people install the meta port.
