The apply_patches.sh script applies all patches in the patches
directory, as well as subdirectories. This means if there is a sub-dir
called "experimental" under a major kernel version directory,
experimental patches would be applied to the default kernel supported by
Kata.
We did not come accross this issue earlier as typically the experimental
kernel version was different from the default kernel.
With both the default kernel and the arm-experimental kernel having the
same major kernel version (5.15.x) at this time, trying to update the
kernel patch version revealed that arm-experimental patches were being
applied to the default kernel.
Restricting the patches to be applied to the top level directory will
solve the issue. The apply_patches script should ignore any
sub-directories meant for experimental patches.

`tools/packaging/scripts/apply_patches.sh` uses `git apply $patch`, but
this will not apply to subdirectories. If one wanted to apply with
`git apply`, they'd have to run it with `--directory=...`
_relative to the Git tree's root_ (absolute will not work!). I suggest
we just use `patch`, which will do what we expected `git apply` would
do.
`patch` is also added to build containers that require it.

If the script doesn't find a patches directory it expects, it gives an
error saying to create a dummy 'no_patches' file if you really don't want
any patches applied for that version.
But actual practice in the tree is to call the dummy file 'no_patches.txt'
rather than simply 'no_patches'. Correct the message to match existing
practice.

Update static build scripts to allow build qemu dev tree.
When qemu starts the process for a new version the patch number
from the qemu version is more than 50. Add logic to detect it
and not apply patches fro the base branch.
For example:
Qemu 5.2.50 means the beginning for 6.0 development. After detect a
development version, patches for 5.2.x will not be applied.

Moved the qemu/apply_patches.sh to the common scripts directory and
refactor it so that it can be used as a generic and consistent way
to apply patches.
