hardenedLinuxPackagesFor: Make it possible to delay major updates
This adds an abstraction/hack to update the latest hardened kernel independent of linux_latest, which is required as the hardened patches aren't immediately available ([0] currently doesn't exist). Currently the Linux hardened patches aren't even available for 5.7 which was released on 2020-05-31 (already 9 days ago!). Therefore it is required to keep both linuxPackages_latest_hardened and linuxPackages_latest_xen_dom0_hardened at 5.6 until the patches for 5.7 are released. This abstraction makes that task more manageable but we should aim for a better solution to resolve this or at least a cleaner and more robust implementation (in the sense of better error messages).
