Improve customization of source and work folders (#672)

* customization.cfg: add new entries for kernel paths

Two choices:
- Where to put git bare repository,
  - Will be implemented as a bare repository, the folder will have only
    compressed blobs and will be around ~400MB. Should be good to have
    even in HDDs
  - This is meant to be in a permanent storage like HDD or SSD.
    But some uses could have it on a tmpfs if the storage is very slow
    when compared to a full git (shallow) clone
- Where to have the work/build folder
  - This will be implemented through a git worktree,
    where the bare repo will be decompressed. This is best on a tmpfs folder
    but needs >=32GB for a full kernel build. Otherwise should be okay with
    modprobed-db

* customization.cfg: remove obsolete entries

the tmpfs related entries can be set with the previously added entries,
i.e. _kernel_work_folder and _kernel_source_folder

* prepare: check if obsoleted vars get set, warn if so and exit

Like this users will get notified about the change and act accordingly

* prepare: remove unused kernel subver patching code

this used to bump from kernel x.y to x.y.z

* prepare: add func to define kernel abs paths

We will use these absolute paths to refer to kernel folders (work and source)

* prepare: rewrite git fetching code

- Rename to "_setup_kernel_work_folder"
- Now we simply fetch directly the "commit hash" / "git tag"
  from the user chosen remote, no branches
- The source folder (the one that is preferably on disk) is only a bare repo
  with a small size (~400MB)
- The work folder is then (re)created / updated (as need) as a git worktree

* prepare: tkg_patcher: embed patch name into the message

Otherwise it doesn't work on the install.sh approach,
which reimplements a simple msg2 function that doesn't support %s
replacement

* PKGBUILD: use new path variable for work folder

* install.sh: use new path variable for work folder

* CI: setup source and build folder in /tmp

* prepare: update diffconfig with new kernel work folder var
