Simply build them in unconditionally. Considering the ubiquitous impact of CPU hw vulnerabilities and a lot of them being addressed by microcode or requiring microcode to apply the needed mitigations, microcode practically gets included on the majority of setups. If anyone cares about initrd size, one can still use dracut's --no-early-microcode option to prevent that. Drop the now not needed --early-microcode option too.
