   Using a FirmwareUpdate on a T160:

   apiVersion: system.metal.ironcore.dev/v1alpha1
   kind: FirmwareUpdate
   metadata:
     name: idrac-h4ys4c4-fw
     namespace: default
   spec:
     serverRef:
       name: idrac-h4ys4c4-system-0
     dellRepository:
       shareType: HTTP
       address: downloads.dell.com
       catalogFile: Catalog.xml
       rebootNeeded: true
       applyVersionPolicy: AllowDowngradeVersion # Omitting disables downgrades
     serverMaintenancePolicy: Enforced
     retryPolicy:
       maxAttempts: 1
     progressDeadlineSeconds: 7200

   Leads to a loop flipping Intel X710 firmware between 25.0.4 and 22.5.7 that will only be stopped by --max-repository-passes(default 5)

   There's two tests(BIOS and BMC) that run firmware up/downgrades the following way:

   1. Ensure a baseline version, i.e. the one specified in VALUES, with a given URI. This is potentially a no-op when the server was left in a clean state.
   2. up-/downgrade to a specific version with given URI in VALUES.
   3. up-/downgrade to the baseline version to leave the server in a clean state.

   Work is tracked in #80
