Description

Added the necessary parts to create linux-libc-dev packages when creating armbian images. This functionality was not added to the new build system but worked just fine up until v23.02.

In my opinion linux-libc-dev should always be created when building an armbian kernel as the kernel versions often differ greatly from the ones natively in the distros (eg. debian bookworm: 6.1.76 vs. armbian current 6.6.21).

Also the armbian package source previously included the package but does not anymore, so the latest updates available were 23.02.2.

How Has This Been Tested?

Used the updated scripts to build deb packages and images for bananapi and rpi4b. The created package linux-libc-dev installs the expected headers.
