package/linux-headers: add support for fetching from custom tarball/git
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.
