kernel drivers: replace all "branch:xxx" references with sha1; hash the whole of patch/misc

• stacktraces: introduce get_stacktrace_element_by_index() to get a specific stracktrace element
• git: fetch_from_repo(): introduce FETCH_FROM_REPO_CALLBACK_IF_REF_MUTABLE
  • function defined in FETCH_FROM_REPO_CALLBACK_IF_REF_MUTABLE is called if reference is mutable
    • which is anything that's not commit: or tag:
      • and really there's no guarantee that tag: is immutable, but lets assume
• drivers-harness: hash the whole of patch/misc; throw error if driver does fetch_from_repo with mutable ref
  • this should make drivers hash consistent, at the expense of being moar tiresome
  • any changes at any patches or drivers-related bash code will cause all kernels to be rebuilt
    • opposed to "some changes caused all kernels to be rebuilt"
• drivers_network: replace all "branch:xxx" references with sha1; add notice about it
