Ask dpkg what it installed while building the rootfs, and read the repository, ref and commit that the Qualcomm kernel packages record in their changelog. The image then carries its own identity for anyone debugging a board, and the build exposes it as workflow outputs. Signed-off-by: Matt Hart <matthart@qti.qualcomm.com>
linux.yml takes them from the tree the kernel build cloned, since its bindeb-pkg packages record nothing; build.yml and build-on-push.yml take them from the image. build-debian.yml is left alone: its kernel differs per suite and matrix outputs are merged last-writer-wins. Signed-off-by: Matt Hart <matthart@qti.qualcomm.com>
The job name was identical for every kernel and suite, so a mainline failure was indistinguishable from a distro one without opening the job definition. Name jobs after the kernel version and suite, and record the version, repo, ref and commit in the metadata with the build URLs. Signed-off-by: Matt Hart <matthart@qti.qualcomm.com>

Testing some prompts with the LAVA MCP showed that the metadata we provide to LAVA is minimal at best.
This PR adds a series of fixes and template updates to add lots of useful metadata to the LAVA jobs. This helps for example when someone was looking for a mainline linux kernel boot on the RB1, and claude incorrectly decided it had not been done in LAVA, when in fact qcom-deb-images does test it.
Note, this is basically impossible to test locally.
