use git for kernel sources & improved CI workflow (#591)

* prepare: auto-fetch latest versions + harmonize kernel version var

- Latest version is fetched from git: this prepares the road to
  moving to git cloning and fetching
- Introduce the $_kver variable that follows a three digit
  convention (e.g. '600', '519', '504') to enable comparing
  simply between kernel versions

* All distros: use git to fetch/update kernel sources

- Force git cloning `linux-tkg` so the patches and config
  files are automatically checksummed
- Arch: remove all the sha256sums and source files and automatically
  populate them on script run.
- Move git cloning/fetching script to 'prepare' script file

* accept customization.cfg vars as env vars

This makes CLI way easier by enabling e.g.
_version="5.19" makepkg or
_version="5.19" ./install.sh install

* prepare: better handle git remotes

now there's a dictionary that gives the list of remotes

* customization.cfg: allow specific kernel versions

e.g. "6.0-rc4" or "5.10.51"

* ci: improved workflow

1. Check periodically for newer kernels with git
2. If a newer kernel exists, with respect to l
   latest Github release:
   1. Build for cfs, pds, bmq for Arch
   2. Make release

### Install procedure
For all the supported linux distributions, `linux-tkg` has to be cloned with `git`. Since it keeps a clone of the kernel's sources within (`linux-src-git`, created during the first build after a fresh clone), it is recommended to keep the cloned `linux-tkg` folder and simply update it with `git pull`, the install script does the necessary cleanup at every run.

- Some issues have been reported by both Fedora (see https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg/issues/383) and Ubuntu (see https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg/issues/436) users where stock kernels cannot boot any longer, the whereabouts are still not entirely clear (it does not seem to affect every user)
- Ubuntu: appears to be an initramfs generation issue
- Fedora: needs disabling then re-enabling SELINUX so one can boot
