* Refactor armbian-config into install as external package
- https://github.armbian.com/configng repository is always present
- package can still be removed from the install list
Since this tool will have deeper integration with Armbian, we should probably drop possibility to remove the tool from the list.
* Enable armbian-config as extension
- Fixes: 71296430fa -- which only set `SKIP_ARMBIAN_REPO=yes` when `rootfs` cli shortcut used
- GHA artifact pipelines are generic across all artifacts, and don't use the cli shortcuts
- instead, they use the `artifact` shortcut, with the `WHAT=rootfs` parameter
- so in GHA pipelines `SKIP_ARMBIAN_REPO=yes` was not taking effect
- rootfs artifact itself now enforces `SKIP_ARMBIAN_REPO` to be `yes` and makes it readonly
- also add `SKIP_ARMBIAN_REPO` to the general change-tracking for more clarity about configs and hooks etc
- add change tracking calls before/after generic artifact config adapter for even more clarity
Validates the dts/dtb file for the selected board and outputs the validation logs to the user.
This can be used when adding a new board, developing or improving a dts file. Should lead to higher quality device trees and patches overall, if used.
Will show warnings/errors if patches patch in some functionalities to a devicetree file without patching in the dt-bindings .yaml at the same time.

- it prepares git, applies patches to git, and re-writes them back from git
- same as kernel, it does git archeology for mbox-less patches, etc
- `uboot-patches-to-git` alias is also added, but my guess is rewrite is more useful
- refactor a common config function for both kernel and uboot
- example invocation: `./compile.sh BOARD=xxxx BRANCH=edge rewrite-uboot-patches`
- example: `./compile.sh BOARD=xxxxx BRANCH=edge kernel-dtb`
- outputs preprocessed DTS source for board in question to `output/`
- also outputs same preprocessed DTS source, ran through `dtc` with input and output DTS formats for "normalized" comparisions
- `inventory-boards-csv.py`: moar Python atrocities done to data; idea here is to output one line per board, with <<varies>> for fields that, well, vary (mainly across BRANCH'es)
- `inventory-boards` sets `TARGETS_FILE` to something that doesn't exist, so the `default-targets.yaml` is used (so same list for everyone, save for userpatched-boards)
- `kernel-patches-to-git` wasn't providing the needed `KERNEL_GIT_SHA1` for kernel drivers
- refactor `obtain_kernel_git_info_and_makefile()` out of `artifact_kernel_prepare_version()` so we can reuse
- introduce `rewrite-kernel-patches`, which is just an alias to `kernel-patches-to-git` with `REWRITE_PATCHES=yes`
