classes/kernel: check OLDEST_KERNEL at configure time
If the kernel being built is older than OLDEST_KERNEL and we're building with glibc, then the C library we're building is probably not going to be compatible with the kernel and we should warn the user. (This is easier to do here rather than when building glibc, because we don't necessarily have the information we need to determine the kernel version there, whereas we do here.) Fixes [YOCTO #8653].
