Enable CONFIG_PACKET

[jserv]

Without CONFIG_PACKET, the kernel refuses AF_PACKET sockets, so those utilities can't run. For user-level networking in virtualized setups especially when the test harness relies on DHCP. Thus, we should enable CONFIG_PACKET (built-in or module) in the guest kernel.

Summary by cubic

Enable CONFIG_PACKET in the guest kernel to allow AF_PACKET sockets. This unblocks DHCP and user-level networking in virtualized test runs.

• Bug Fixes

  • Set CONFIG_PACKET=y so tools using raw packet sockets (e.g., DHCP) work.
  • Guard minislirp clean to avoid errors when the dir is missing.

• Dependencies

  • Bump Buildroot to 2025.02.x in build-image.sh.

When VIRTIONET is disabled, MINISLIRP_DIR is unset so this check becomes `/src`; on systems with that folder it will execute `make -C /src clean`, touching the wrong project. Please guard against empty MINISLIRP_DIR before testing the directory.</violation>
