feat(kernel): enable ALSA core

[sirredbeard]

Enable CONFIG_SOUND=m / ALSA core as modules on x86_64 and aarch64.

Neither architecture currently enables CONFIG_SOUND. This adds the ALSA core only. Codec and USB audio drivers stay off.

Pull request overview

Enables modular ALSA USB audio on x86_64/aarch64 and Intel HDA on x86_64.

Changes:

• Adds architecture-specific ALSA configuration.
• Bumps the kernel release, changelog, and lock fingerprint.
• Leaves rendering failed, deleting generated kernel build inputs; the new configs are also incomplete for strict Kconfig validation.

base/comps/kernel/6.18-aarch64-azl.config:8948

• Enabling the parent SOUND/SND menus exposes additional prompts that remain unassigned in this config. In particular, SND_USB_AUDIO_MIDI_V2 is active once SND_USB_AUDIO=m, but there is no value or # ... is not set entry for it. Because the spec invokes process_configs.sh -w -n -c (kernel.spec:2250-2252), listnewconfig treats this and the other newly visible ALSA options as fatal (process_configs.sh:421-429), so the aarch64 build will stop during config validation. Regenerate the complete config and explicitly resolve every newly exposed option.

CONFIG_SOUND=m

base/comps/kernel/6.18-x86_64-azl.config:5800

• Enabling the parent SOUND/SND menus makes many previously hidden prompts newly visible, but this config does not assign them. For example, SND_USB_AUDIO_MIDI_V2 is now active under SND_USB_AUDIO and has no entry here. The spec runs process_configs.sh -w -n -c (kernel.spec:2250-2252), and -n rejects every item reported by listnewconfig (process_configs.sh:421-429), so the x86_64 kernel build will fail before compilation. Regenerate the complete config and explicitly record values (including # ... is not set) for all newly exposed ALSA options.

CONFIG_SOUND=m

Configs regenerated for process_configs -n on both arches. This PR is ALSA core only now; codec and USB audio drivers stay off.
