Add linux-firmware to the install base #102

Good evening! I recently installed a new Arch system. This script was a massive help. Thank you!

I ran into this this bug during the installation.

Apparently, linux-firmware used to be a dependency of linux and so would be installed automatically, but they were separated at some point.

Without it, installing on a VM still works, but when I tried to install on bare metal (Intel CPU and AMD GPU) it froze during bootup. Adding the linux-firmware package fixed this.
