Justin Cormack 3930ad787b Add a kernel-dev tarball with kernel headers
These headers are needed for defining kernel probes etc, tested with
eBPF. Could also be used for perf, building kernel modules etc. Saved
to the media tarball at present, may add to base image or container.

Also rationalise the paths in the headers tarball a little to match.

Will add an eBPF container using these later.

Temporary non modular kernel config for pinata alpha

TODO: build with Alpine and/or use Alpine kernels - needs some patches.

The build is mostly silent. To view the output use docker log -f <containerid>. The build creates multiple containers, so multiple invocations may be necessary. To view the full build output one may also invoke docker build . and then copy the build artefacts from the image afterwards.

To build with various debug options enabled, build the kernel with make DEBUG=1. The options enabled are listed in kernel_config.debug. This allocates a significant amount of memory on boot and you may need to adjust the kernel config on some systems. Specifically:
