firmware-linux-nonfree: 2018-03-20 -> 2018-08-25

Motivation for this change

the package was pretty outdated and may have been the cause of some issues i experienced before while running arch that disappeared after a while, but reappeared once i switched to nixos. no idea if this actually fixes the issue yet, since it's pretty random when it occurs, but it can't really hurt to update it anyways.

Things done

• Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
• Built on platform(s)
  • NixOS
  • macOS
  • other Linux distributions
• Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
• Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
• Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
• Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
• Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

I had done that too, but almost nothing else.

Unfortunately, there's really nothing more to test other than checking if your particular hardware still works with the updated firmware. I've also checked the git history and haven't found anything that would prevent us from merging. Thanks!
