The original kernel Dockerfile hardcodes the amd64 as the
only arch supported, this patch removes this kind of hardcode
and make the Dockerfile is ready to support both amd64 and
arm64 by using the runtime arch type.

It clashes with libelf-dev but libelf-dev is sufficient
to compile the kernel. This also allows us to remove the
'|| true' from the 'apk add', catching errors with the
tools installation.

The perf utility is somewhat kernel specific so might as well
compile it when we compile the kernel. The resulting binary
is statically linked (and stripped for size) and is added the
resulting kernel packages.
Although we add alpine packages such as libunwind and other,
it seems that the config detection code for perf/tools does
not detect them.

Also add additional tools and libraries useful/needed for
compiling some of the ./tools in the kernel source.

The vmlinux image is the un-stripped kernel image containing
full debug information which is useful for kernel debugging.

Building debug kernels (with additional run time checks and debugging)
was broken a few commits back. This adds back support for building debug
kernels.
In addition, it builds and uploads debug kernels for selected kernel
series (4.9.x LTS and latest stable). The tag for these kernels has
a "_dbg" suffix.
Update documentation.

- Use a RUN command per artefact created
- Use WORKDIR to avoid "cd /linux" on every RUN command
- Copy all relevant build artefacts to /out
- Only create one additional layer in final stage
- Add System.map to output image

Previously we hardcoded `bzImage` which is not used for all
use cases or architectures.

- Use multi-stage builds
- Use a single Dockerfile for all kernels
Kernel version and series are passed in as arguments
- Use a separate kernel config per kernel version
These have been copied from kernel_config and ran
through oldconfig to tidy them up
- Rename patch directories
- Refactor the Makefile to use a template
- Allows building of all kernels without arguments to make
- Use git tree hash as the image tag
- Don't build the image if the tag already exists

Unused. This should not affect anything, and I didnt actually bump
the kernel version; am working on te build in CI for this...
