[Buildroot] [git commit] package/linux-headers: add support for fetching from custom tarball/git

[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=1eca624c03e5e1f815e0e62cbfc3b99f3cd628b3
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Add support for building toolchains against custom headers. Allows
the selection of a manual version, custom tarball or custom git
repository for the kernel headers. This enables toolchains to be
built against custom kernel headers without having to build a full
kernel.

This is particularly useful for new architectures, such as RISC-V
where updated kernel headers may not have made it into the mainline
kernel yet.
