Bug#939262: firmware-iwlwifi: Consider update to newest version (20190815)



See my report in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=934781#30

On my Dell Precision M6400 laptop, the newer iwlwifi 20190815 firmware only partly fixes the problem.  The Wi-Fi no longer hangs (great!), but Microcode SW errors still occur in periods of high throughput.
