drm/xe/xe_uc_fw: Use firmware files from standard locations
The GuC/HuC firmware files used by Xe drivers are the same as
used by i915. Use the already-known location to find those
firmware files, for a couple of reasons:
1. Avoid having the same firmware placed on two different
places on MODULE_FIRMWARE(), if both 915 and xe drivers
are compiled;
2. Having firmware files located on different locations may end
creating bigger initramfs, as the same files will be copied
twice my mkinitrd/dracut/...;
3. this is the place where those firmware files are located at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
Upstream doesn't expect them to have on other places;
4. When built with display support, DMC firmware will be
loaded from i915/ directory. It is very confusing to have
some firmware files on a different place for the same driver.

[ Mostly agree with the direction of "use the firmware blobs from
upstream at their current location for these platforms". Previous
directory was not wrong as the plan was to have it handled in the
upstream firmware repo. For future platforms the location can be
changed if the support is only in xe ]
