    sysutils/cpu-microcode-intel: Dont depend on cpu-microcode-rc
    
    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.
    
    Approved by:            jrm (maintainer)
