This changes the policy of reporting missing firmware updates as "UNKNOWN". Now, if there's no available firmware, we report "current". That fixes needrestart on platforms that do not have firmware support (#220) or platforms that are supported but for which a CPU is to new to have an updated firmware available (#149).
It does not create a new "unavailable" status (#274) as this maps poorly in Nagios reporting, but that is an option that was considered here as well.
Closes: #149
Closes: #274
Closes: #220
This PR and #288 should fix all pending AMD firmware issues, and supersede #285 and possibly make #284 irrelevant as well.
