[RFC PULL] ath11k: move WCN6750 firmware to the device-specific subdir

The firmware under ath11k/WCN6750 can not be utilized on other devices using
WCN6750 to provide WiFi (e.g. on the Qualcomm RB3 gen2 board).  This is an
attempt to propose a solution by moving the file into device-specifig subdir.
Other platforms can place firmware files in other subdirs, depending on the
SoC.

Note, while performing the move I also propose squashing the firmware file.
This is the practice recommended by the msm platform maintainers for the DSP
firmware (not to mention that it also saves us from the extra symlinks). If
Kalle, ath11k maintainer, objects, I will keep the firmware in the split form.

For now this is an RFC in order to gather opinion form respective platform and
driver maintainers.
