Upgrade Linux Kernel for main from 6.1.66 to 6.6.7

To upgrade, the following changes were required:

  * added Changelog
  * switched to Linux kernel 6.6.7 sources
  * reverted pahole flags - the system halts otherwise with
    Linux kernel / initrd modules not found
  * removed the source symlink deletion, as it the symlink
    is no longer generated
  * updated or removed Linux kernel configs:
     * CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS -> renamed to AUTOFS_FS
     * CONFIG_IXGB -> renamed to CONFIG_IXGB
     * CONFIG_EDAC_I5000 -> CONFIG_BROKEN
     * CONFIG_EFI_GENERIC_STUB_INITRD_CMDLINE_LOADER -> removed
     * CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_CLUSTERIP -> removed
     * CONFIG_MICROCODE_AMD -> removed
     * CONFIG_NET_SCH_CBQ -> removed
     * CONFIG_NET_SCH_DSMARK -> removed
     * CONFIG_NFT_OBJREF -> removed
