With the new changes in lk2nd that allow us to support extlinux.conf,
we can now generate image that would be generic to these devices.

trailblazer is a bleeding edge, unstable target for EFI capable ARM64
devices. It runs linux-next and should otherwise be adjusted to support
as many devices as possible.
The goal of trailblazer is to motivate more upstream kernel development by
providing a tighter feedback loop (patches land in -next weeks before they
make it into mainline or stable), as well as encouraging more generic
solutions to the device specific hacks we have in userspace.
On supported devices, trailblazer should reflect the current state of
upstream. It allows users to easily appreciate what feature are
unavailable, and more importantly appreciate when a new feature does get
added upstream.
Due to the instability of linux-next, the plan is to have BPO build
trailblazer images nightly, so if next breaks then the images should
only be broken for a day.

Introduce a linux-next kernel with postmarketOS configs and some
additional device specific configs enabled.
This kernel package will be updated daily to the latest -next tag.
breakages expected. It is designed to be used in tandem with a generic
ARM64 device package to provide a bleeding edge option for those with
EFI capable bootloaders.

* Parse the file in python and ensure it is ordered alphabetically
* Ensure that we have at least as many gitlab nicknames in CODEOWNERS,
as there are listed maintainers in main and community devices. This
should help with enforcing that every maintainer is also listed in
CODEOWNERS, so they can be easily pinged via their gitlab nickname if
something for the device they maintain is happening.

Sometimes we need to figure out the gitlab nicknames of maintainers and
co-maintainers as listed in the APKBUILDs, e.g. when a specific issue
appears that only happens with a given device. Or if we want to ping
all device maintainers in the testing phase for the new release.
So far it has been a very tiresome, manual process to figure out gitlab
nicknames from the maintainers in the APKBUILDs (involving git log
--follow and opening merge requests in browsers...). After some
discussion we figured it would be good to store it in the CODEOWNERS
file.
This also has the nice side-effect that maintainers get notifications if
the APKBUILDs they maintain get changed.
We configure editors via editorconfig file. Remove the modeline, it was
wrong anyway by setting "et" to expand tabs to spaces, where in reality
this file uses tabs.
We decided against pvr hacks, quoting craftyguy from issue 1316:

No device port is using this package anymore, but we forgot to remove
it. After branching v22.06 I realized that it doesn't build anymore
and as stated in MR 2702, it's unmaintained.
