support/testing: bump prebuilt kernel to 5.10.202

Browse Source 
As reported on the mailing list [1], TestPolkitSystemd and
TestPolkitInitd are failing since we bumped the Bootlin toolchain
2023.08 [2].

The issue is caused by expat (XML library) package detecting
arc4random_buf() introduced by glibc 2.36 [3].

With arc4random_buf() support enabled, expat hang Polkit while reading
its policy files (XML files) due to a lack of entropy on the system.

Upgrading the kernel allows to avoid such issue thanks to
random_get_entropy_fallback() introduced in 5.10.119 (backpored) [4].

Build the vexpress-v2p-ca9 (armv7) 5.10.202 using the kernel
configuration file found in /proc/config.gz but with additional kernel
options provided by SYSTEMD_LINUX_CONFIG_FIXUPS. Indeed some kernel
options requested by systemd were missing in 5.10.7 kernel.

Build the versatile-pb (armv5) kernel using the same kernel
configuration as qemu_arm_versatile_defconfig but with additional
kernel options like for vexpress-v2p-ca9. While at it, enable
IKCONFIG_PROC option to provide the kernel configuration at runtime
in /proc/config.gz.

Runtime tested:

https://gitlab.com/kubu93/buildroot/-/pipelines/1097705399 (tests.init.*)
