Let's start shipping a SeaBIOS 256k image in the snap. It's needed for a CSM mode support in LXD.

Unfortunately, EDKII CSM module was removed:
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4588

It means that for all new VMs in LXD we will start to use SeaBIOS directly without EDKII/CSM module. For the compatibility sake we are not removing EDKII-based CSM firmware right now, but we will do that a little bit later.

Fixes canonical/lxd#12730
