Simple upgrade with few generic kernel features enabled
* IWD support
* F2FS
* NTFS3_FS
* USB mass storage support
* disable MTD and build more things as modules to reduce
kernel size to compensate some new built-in options,
as kernel doesn't boot otherwise.
No new things for pmOS's devices (yet). Should work same as before.

Last update for 5.14 kernel, next one will be 5.15
Kernel config cleanup:
* enable various USB peripherals support, per user requests:
* usb webcams [m]
* usb ethernet adapters [m]
* remove support for various TV tuners and DVB cards
* enable few filesystem drivers [m], like iso9660, exFAT, ntfs
* enable kernel automounter, to use with nfs (autofs, [m])
* disable CONFIG_ARM_CPUIDLE, which gets rid of annoying message
during boot:
/cpus/cpu@0: unsupported enable-method property: qcom,kpss-acc-v2
Cpuidle is handled by another driver, which is still enabled:
CONFIG_ARM_QCOM_SPM_CPUIDLE

Should work same as before.
Slightly tweaked kernel config options:
* default cpufreq governor is now "conservative" instead of "performance", which should be better for devices running on battery. Not that it matters, MSM8974 does not have cpufreq support anyway.
* enabled CONFIG_ARM_QCOM_SPM_CPUIDLE, which was missing! At least some cpuide is better than none at all.
* 2 missing options for nftables: CONFIG_IP6_NF_FILTER, CONFIG_IP6_NF_TARGET_REJECT
* few missing options for wg-quick: CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES, CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES, CONFIG_IP6_NF_RAW, CONFIG_IP_NF_RAW
WWAN subsystem is not enabled.
BAM-DMUX upgraded to version "v3" (subnode of modem remoteproc)

These are required to make it work with the latest ModemManager patches,
especially the patch that switches BAM-DMUX to Raw-IP mode.

This is required by some software, e.g. bluez/gnome to set some ACLs on
/dev/rfkill (see #904). While probably nobody will notice on the
downstream kernels (as we don't have any proper software there anyways)
it's definitely needed on mainline-ish kernels. Surprisingly only one
kernel has broken by enabling this option (linux-sony-tulip) which I've
patched up.
linux-postmarketos-qcom-sdm660 did not break by enabling this option,
but required linux4.17-gcc10-extern_YYLOC_global_declaration.patch to
build again, so this was fixed too.

Enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS for each kernel, so we can switch to using
aes-xts-plain64 as default cipher for cryptsetup (override with
"pmbootstrap --cipher"), instead of aes-cbc-plain64 (pmbootstrap#1940).
I have executed "pmbootstrap kconfig edit" on each kernel, and manually
toggled the option. The diff is not always clean, because for some
kernels it is apparently the first time, that menuconfig was executed on
the configs like that. In a few instances, it turned out that
CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK needed to be disabled too (this is
already a requirement, but as the config was incomplete, it was not
visible that this option was enabled). Very few times, I had to enable
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL in order to see and enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS.
It would be great if we could automate such mass kconfig edits in the
future, see pmbootstrap#1942.
[skip ci]: I have verified, that every single one of these kernels builds.
CI will likely run out of time while downloading source tarballs.
* Support for sharp ls052t3sx02 video mode panel and max1187x
touchscreen used in Sony Xperia Z2 (sirius)
* Support for display in OnePlus One (bacon)
* Support for touchscreen, touchkeys and notification led in Samsung
Galaxy S5 (klte)
We have linux-postmarketos-qcom and linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916 now,
which is quite confusing. linux-postmarketos-qcom was originally added
for MSM8974 devices (e.g. Nexus 5) and its patches on top of mainline
are therefore quite focused on MSM8974.
linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916 on the other hand, has patches specific
to MSM8916. The two packages do not have any patch in common, therefore
merging the two would only cause signficiant overhead to coordinate
testing for devices of the two SoCs.
Therefore, it is better to keep them separate.
To avoid confusion, rename linux-postmarketos-qcom to
linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8974 to make it clear that it is really
a close-to-mainline kernel for MSM8974 devices.
