linux: add BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON3

Browse Source 
Kernel commit [1] introduced MSM GPU driver header generation with a
Python script. This commit was first included in v6.10. This driver is
also enabled as a module in the arm64 architecture default
configuration. See [2]. This is a common situation.

This missing dependency is not detected in the Buildroot CI, because
the reference docker image contains a python3 interpreter. See [3].

For information, the Linux latest kernel version was updated in
Buildroot commit 2b6dba00b "linux: bump latest version to 6.10".
See [4].

The issue can be observed by running the following commands on a host
without the python3 interpreter installed:

    cat <<EOF >.config
    BR2_aarch64=y
    BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
    BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_USE_ARCH_DEFAULT_CONFIG=y
    BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_OPENSSL=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
    EOF
    make olddefconfig
    make linux

The Kernel build fails with output:

      GENHDR  drivers/gpu/drm/msm/generated/a2xx.xml.h
    /bin/sh: 1: python3: not found
    make[7]: *** [drivers/gpu/drm/msm/Makefile:176: drivers/gpu/drm/msm/generated/a2xx.xml.h] Error 127

This commit fixes this issue by introducing a new
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON3 configuration that will need to be
selected in relevant situations.

Some Linux kernel configuration options (such as the
CONFIG_DRM_MSM in v6.10 and greater) require a host python3
interpreter. Enabling this option will ensure host-python3
gets built before the Linux kernel.
Enable this option if you get a Linux kernel build failure
such as "python3: not found".
