iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode is target to fix a 11n related issue we seen in the
field (especially for Ubuntu), so it is important for people to use -5
version of uCode. in order to allow driver to pick up the correct uCode
(-5), we need to move the maximum API version to "5" which is what this
patch does

Thanks
