Fixes & Enhancements

Fixes:
- When the Memory Operating Mode option in the Memory Settings menu is set to MultiRankSpareMode, multi-bit memory errors are generated in the System Event Log (SEL) or Lifecycle log.
- The Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate associated with the HTTPS URL is not effectively applied during the HTTPS boot operation. This issue is observed only when using the IPv6 protocol because it breaks the CVE-2021-21571 fix.

Enhancements:
- Updated the "Processor and Memory Reference Code" for the second-generation Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family to IPU 2022.2.
- Updated the Processor Microcode to version 0x6E05 for the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family
- Updated the Integrate Purley Refresh PV Candidate Reference Code Version 622D07
- Updated SPS to SPS_E5_04.01.04.804.0 (IPU 22.2) for Purley Refresh.
