linux: support a space-separated list of patches

The kernel being a component that often needs a fairly important set
of changes to be adapted to a particular hardware platform, having
maximum flexibility on the patching process is a nice
thing. Therefore, as per the discussions from the Buildroot Developer
Day, we add a mechanism to apply a list of patches (that could come
either from URLs, local files or local directories).

The location can be an URL, a file path, or a directory. In
the case of a directory, all files matching linux-*.patch
will be applied.
A space-separated list of patches to apply to the
kernel. Each patch can be described as an URL, a local file
path, or a directory. In the case of a directory, all files
matching linux-*.patch in the directory will be applied.
