[Buildroot] [PATCH v5 4/4] package/xen: add custom git support

[Neal Frager via buildroot <buildroot@buildroot.org>]

For completeness, add custom git support to match the capabilities of other
packages such as Linux, uboot or ATF.

To test this feature, use the following configs to test latest release of the
Xilinx Xen vendor tree.

To test:
BR2_aarch64=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN_AARCH64_GLIBC_STABLE=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XEN=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XEN_CUSTOM_GIT=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XEN_CUSTOM_REPO_URL="https://github.com/Xilinx/xen.git"
BR2_PACKAGE_XEN_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="xlnx-rebase-v4.21_2026.1"

Add to package/xen/xen.hash:
sha256  e8016e81627fe3b4fca5463723428606cd3750c7fd76a3cfaa0b0d0e7cd9b32b  xen-xlnx-rebase-v4.21_2026.1-git4.tar.gz
