Romain Naour 113def3696 package/passt: needs headers >= 5.9
Upstream passt only documents runtime dependencies; and they advertise
being able to run on kernel 3.8 or later. However, they do not document
the build dependencies.

Since 2025_06_11.0293c6f, upstream requires kernel headers >= 5.9, as
they make use of linux/close_range.h, only introduced in 5.9.

Add a dependency to kernel headers, and propagate it to podman's passt
backend.

Fixes: 6a192b0d28

passt: Plug A Simple Socket Transport
pasta: Pack A Subtle Tap Abstraction
passt implements a translation layer between a Layer-2
network interface and native Layer-4 sockets (TCP, UDP,
ICMP/ICMPv6 echo) on a host. It doesn't require any
capabilities or privileges, and it can be used as a simple
replacement for Slirp.
pasta (same binary as passt, different command) offers
equivalent functionality, for network namespaces: traffic
is forwarded using a tap interface inside the namespace,
without the need to create further interfaces on the host,
hence not requiring any capabilities or privileges.
