ath10k: add SDIO firmware for QCA9377 WiFi ...

This commit adds the SDIO firmware for ath10k/QCA9377 cards. I obtained
the file from the Boundary Devices repo [1] before discovering that Kale
Valo's repo [2] is the original source location. It has the same license
as the existing firmware-5.bin file. Support for QCA9377 WiFi was merged
for Linux 5.7 [3].

The upstream folder is named 'untested' though this is explained in the
QCA9377 support RFT post [3] and comments. I also show dmesg output in
the same comments. Support for QCA9377 WiFi was merged in Linux 5.7 [4].

Kale did say he would submit this in his next batch of things [5] but
that was ~5 months ago and I'm on a mission to drop out-of-tree patches
from the distro I maintain.
