commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=f650b34ca4368eb1b206cca745446c6f048da1a7
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2019.02.x

More and more packages being tested by the test infra, e.g. syslog-ng,
need entropy at startup, usually reading from /dev/random.

Some test cases can also depend on a kernel version newer than the
builtin ones already provided by the test infra:
 - 3.11.0 for armv5;
 - 4.0.0 for armv7.

Add a new builtin kernel to be used by such test cases.
Add it for armv5 so most test cases that switch to use this kernel can
keep using BASIC_TOOLCHAIN_CONFIG.
Use the same kernel version and kernel config as qemu_arm_versatile plus
HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO for VirtIORNG to be usable.
Copy the actual binary file from the syslog-ng runtime test at current
master @ 29e1cb8884.

Since there is already a 'kernel-versatile' file on autobuild.buildroot.net
and we must keep it with this name for reproducibility purposes, create a
simple naming convention for newer builtin kernel images and dtb files:
kernel-<defconfig>-<kernel_series_version>
<dtb_name>-<kernel_series_version>.dtb
Pass '-device virtio-rng-pci' to qemu when this kernel is used.
