[Buildroot] [PATCH v3] board/orangepi/orangepi-zero: bump Linux and U-Boot versions

v1:
- Linux: bump to version 5.12.19 (from 5.12.2).
- U-Boot: bump to version 2022.01 (from 2021.04).
- Added fast_commit for ext4. When creating a file system with this option, writing speeds up twice in some cases: https://lwn.net/Articles/834483/
- Refactoring configs/orangepi_zero_defconfig.
- Switched to extlinux.
- Createed common scenarios for multiple boards to create an SD image: board/orangepi/common.

v2:
- Linux: bump to version 5.16.1 (from 5.12.19) thanks to a patch from Giulio for xr819-xradio (link below).
- Added in genimage.cfg: partition rootfs {offset = 1M} to prevent possible alignment error.
- Added BR2_ARM_EABIHF=y to make it visible in the config file, previously added implicitly.
- Replaced BR2_ARM_FPU_VFPV4 with BR2_ARM_FPU_NEON_VFPV4 because processor supports it.
- Deleted BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO=y, added by mistake.

v3:
- Changed the name of the patch (from board/orangepi/orangepi-zero:extlinux, refactoring).
- Linux: bump to version 5.16.2 (from 5.16.1).
- Returned (# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR is not set) instead of (BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR=n), added in v1.
- Renamed file uboot-extras.config -> uboot-extras.fragment.
- Renamed file linux-extras.config -> linux-extras.fragment.
- Deleted (#BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_THUMB2=y), added in v2.

Patch required to work:
