cve-extra-exclusions: remove historic kernel CVEs which are handled now

The bulk of the historic kernel CVEs in this file are now handled by
the include files generated by linux/generate-cve-exclusions.py, so
remove them.

Those that remain date from 2017 or earlier, so rename the group to
'historic' and update the comment.
