[Armbian build PR] - Convert from using uImage to Image for aml-s9xx-box

This is needed to bring this board in line with the expectations of the new main build (armbian-next), which dropped uImage from meson64 kernel packages.

@SteeMan: My h96 max x2 s095x2 2G/16G box doesn't boot with the weekly roms in this link:

https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus/

It does boot with the stable roms.

The main difference, if I understand correctly, is because the latest weekly roms use Image instead of uImage in extlinux.cfg file. The stable roms still have the uImage file.

I've also seen someone attempted to fix uImage build here:

Please consider building uImage again in the future. I know I may need to go the long way to rebuild everything, so I may need help building armbian from scratch later, with uImage enabled.

Thanks!

@Thang The weekly images should work.  Are you installing a weekly image, or upgrading to it?  If you are upgrading, then you will need to edit the extlinux.conf file and change uImage to Image.
