linux-yocto: add script to generate kernel CVE_CHECK_IGNORE entries

Instead of manually looking up new CVEs and determining what point
releases the fixes are incorporated into, add a script to generate the
CVE_CHECK_IGNORE data automatically.

First, note that this is very much an interim solution until the
cve-check class fetches data from www.linuxkernelcves.com directly.

The script should be passed the path to a local clone of the
linuxkernelcves repository[1] and the kernel version number. It will
then write to standard output the CVE_STATUS entries for every known
kernel CVE.

The script should be periodically reran as CVEs are backported and
kernels upgraded frequently.

Note: for the backport this is not a cherry-pick of the commit in master
as the variable names are different. This incorporates the following
commits:

linux/generate-cve-exclusions: add version check warning
linux/generate-cve-exclusions.py: fix comparison
linux-yocto: add script to generate kernel CVE_STATUS entries
