Backport the Intel ice Out-Of-Tree (OOT) driver, introduced in the Rolling release via PR #1185 to VyOS Stream and LTS 1.5, in order to add support for Intel E825-C and E835-C Ethernet controllers.

The following NICs are currently invisible to VyOS on Stream and LTS due to missing PCI IDs in the in-tree ice driver in kernel 6.6.128-vyos:

E825-C

8086:579C
8086:579D
8086:579E
8086:579F

E835-C

8086:1248
8086:1249
8086:1261
