linux-firmware: ti-connectivity: change fw version info to new style 

Use the new standard of having a Version field below each firmware
filename instead of having a separate list.

Additionally improve the NVS file description.

The nvs file includes two parts:
The NVS file includes two parts:
- radio calibration
- ini setting parameters
- HW configuration parameters (aka. INI values)
In order to have correct NVS file for your device NVS tool should be use:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx/calibrator
The published NVS files are for testing only. Every device needs to
hava a unique NVS which is properly calibrated for best results. You
can find more information about NVS generation for your device here:
Example NVS files (not optimal) for wl127x and wl128x includes.
To use example NVS set symbolic link wl12xx-nvs.bin to one of
them (depending the chip on the platform)
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx/calibrator
In order to use that files copy ti-connectivity directory to target FS at
If you're using a wl127x based device, use a symbolic link called
wl1271-nvs.bin that links to the wl127x-nvs.bin file. If you are
using wl128x, link to wl128x-nvs.bin instead.
The driver expects to find the firmwares under a ti-connectivity
subdirectory. So if your system looks for firmwares in /lib/firmware,
the firmwares for wl12xx chips must be located in
/lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/.
