cli-patch: generalize to-git functionality with PUSH_TO_GITHUB and PUSH_TO_REPO & enable for u-boot as well as kernel

• cli-patch: generalize to-git functionality with PUSH_TO_GITHUB and PUSH_TO_REPO & enable for u-boot as well as kernel
  • PUSH_TO_REPO=<url>: set the full git URL to push to
  • PUSH_TO_GITHUB=<org>/<repo>: shorthand for pushing to GitHub; sets PUSH_TO_REPO
  • note: be kind to GitHub, and use forks of torvalds/linux and u-boot/u-boot so GH has a decent base tree
    • still, kernel pushes are huge, mostly due to the all-wifi-drivers commit that's always first and always slightly different
  • note: when pushing to GitHub, keep in mind the pushed branch contains a GHA workflow, which will only run if you have GHA enabled on the repo
  • examples (adapt to your username/forks):
    • ./compile.sh BOARD=nanopct6 BRANCH=edge rewrite-kernel-patches PUSH_TO_GITHUB=rpardini/linux
    • ./compile.sh BOARD=rock-5b BRANCH=legacy rewrite-uboot-patches PUSH_TO_GITHUB=rpardini/armbian-patched-u-boot
