linux-packages: init at ${linuxHeaders.version}

This exports the standalone scripts from the Linux tree as usable
package. For example, they are helpful for OS-space developers and
virtualization engineers.

For the beginning, this includes:

`$ extract-vmlinux path/to/bzImage > vmlinux`
`$ extract-ikconfig path/to/bzImage > .config`
