kbuild: deb-pkg: add pkg.linux-upstream.nokernelheaders build profile

Since commit f1d87664b82a ("kbuild: cross-compile linux-headers package
when possible"), 'make bindeb-pkg' may attempt to cross-compile the
linux-headers package, but it fails under certain circumstances.

For example, when CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is enabled on Debian, the
following command fails:

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- bindeb-pkg

compilation terminated.

This commit adds a new profile, pkg.linux-upstream.nokernelheaders, to
guard the linux-headers package.

There are two options to fix the above issue.

Option 1: Set the pkg.linux-upstream.nokernelheaders build profile

$ DEB_BUILD_PROFILES=pkg.linux-upstream.nokernelheaders \
make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- bindeb-pkg

This skips the building of the linux-headers package.

Option 2: Install the necessary build dependencies

If you want to cross-compile the linux-headers package, you need to
install additional packages.

For example, on Debian, the packages necessary for cross-compiling it
to arm64 can be installed with the following commands:

# dpkg --add-architecture arm64
# apt update
# apt install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu libssl-dev:arm64
