Commit 50958bcdac ("linux: Add support for custom license files") added a
default value for the license files and made the option visible (E.G.
editable) when a custom VCS or tarball version is used, but it is also
needed for users of an older _CUSTOM_VERSION (E.G. mainline release), as
the referenced files were only added in Linux 4.16 with commit e00a844aca
("LICENSES: Add Linux syscall note exception"), so change that.

Since commit 0e3ddc9dc8 "{linux,
linux-headers}: split hash file in before and from 6.17" there are two
hash file variants, and symlinks for the individual versions. These
were not updated in 48186093fd "bump
5.{10, 15}.x / 6.{1, 6, 12, 18}.x series".

In linux 6.17, the license file LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0 was modified.
As a result, also its hash changed, and the hash was duly updated in
commit d6c0f0015b. Of course, this is only
valid for kernel versions from 6.17 - but at the time, we only set
LINUX_LICENSE_FILES for the latest kernel version, not for any other
kernel versions.
Since commit 305a2d91731fade45f35c259cb012bdf17e8dbeb, we also set
LINUX_LICENSE_FILES for all other versions, including e.g. the CIP
versions. Similarly, we now set LICENSE_FILES for all linux-headers
versions. Thus, the hash check of the license file fails for all older
kernel versions.
Fix this by splitting the hash file in two hash files: before-6.17 and
from-6.17. We keep just two hash file rather than a separate one for
each version to limit the number of files that need to be updated when
bumping kernel versions. Create symlinks for all the CIP version in
linux and for all supported versions in linux-headers.
Include the CIP versions as well for linux-headers. They are used when
the kernel is set to the CIP version and linux-headers to
same-as-kernel.

The Linux package was not providing any license file when a custom
Linux version was selected.
Fix this by adding a Kconfig option to specify the license file,
with a default value set to the commonly used license paths.

Alexey Brodkin from Synopsys says in [1]:
I think indeed, we may remove all the big-endian support for ARC.
Reasons are since introduction of ARC HS4x processors we no longer
support big-endian in any new processor IP, and even for older IP
which used to support big-endian it was rarely used... so basically
there's no good justification to spend any cycles on big-endian
support looking forward in this project. I.e. BE support in uClibc
could also be removed if it makes any difference.
Therefore, let's removed support for ARC big-endian.

"This is the LAST 5.4.y release. It is now end-of-life and should not be
used by anyone, anymore. As of this point in time, there are 1539
documented unfixed CVEs for this kernel branch, and that number will
only increase over time as more CVEs get assigned for kernel bugs."
