Summary

Add a new overridable variable for the list of wifi firmware to install
on the release media, and use this for all three media types. Set this
to wifi-firmware-kmod-release by default.

This will install more firmware on bootonly.iso, which previously used
'wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod wifi-firmware-rtw88-kmod' and was missing
the other firmware.

I like this extra variable.

There were size concerns before as we will end up adding more than 100MB eventually to disc1/bootonly. I cannot remember but a git blame should reveal a previous review. If this is all solved I am more than happy to unify/simplify this.
