Refactors the kernel package to a generic one and adds support for the lts kernel. Since nixpkgs' kernel packages provide the `kernelPatches` override, utilizing that ensures that kernel updates are not delayed too much due to having to PR them to nixos-hardware separately. This comes at the expense of possible breakage when upstream updates something that breaks the patches. Because the T2 Linux project has a lot of patches which changes periodically, including them in the repository directly is a maintenance burden. Instead, this patch comes with an update script and JSON files containing all of the patches to be downloaded (by fetchurl) and applied. The NixOS option to enable changing release versions will be added in the next commit.
