thinRoot 20240409

[jens-maus]

This is release 20240409 of thinRoot with the following bugfixes and feature changes:

🚧 Changes:

_{For all changes, see the full commit log.}

• bump to final qutselect 3.0 version with Qt6 and simplified interface support.
• update ThinLinc client to latest 4.16.0-3389 version.
• add bash wrapper and remove our own qutselect connect scripts which are now part of official qutselect project.
• optimize global buildroot config.
• bump upstream kernel to latest 6.6.25 LTS.
• enable MPTCP support.
• disable CONFIG_WERROR since buildroot removes it anyway.
• remove rng-tools because in newer linux kernel versions /dev/random is not blocking anymore (5.6+) and the standard kernel provied entropy pool is strong enough (5.10+) so that tools like rng-tools or haveged are not required anymore and just unnecessarily consume CPU time. (cf. Change poolsize definition for recent Linux kernels? nhorman/rng-tools#195 (comment), https://forum.manjaro.org/t/low-entropy-on-my-system/119233).
• disable busybox wget app since we use upstream wget instead and updated busybox config accordingly.
• update rpi kernel to latest stable_20240124.
• update rpi-eeprom to latest version.
