- Re-sign kernel modules after the package stripping process.
- Remove the package-stripping skip for signed kernel modules from package.py.
- Add KERNEL_MODULE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable

Note that tests have been made on core-minimal-image for in-tree modules
and on crypto-dev and lttng-modules for out-of-tree modules.

changes in V5:

    - Adapt signing function for out-of-tree modules.

changes in v4:

    - Re-sign kernel modules after package stripping process
    - Remove package-stripping skip in package.py
    - Add MOD_INSTALL_PREFIX variable

changes in v3:

    - Fixing rebase issue.

changes in v2:

    - Use the conditional INSTALL_MOD_STRIP environment variable to avoid
      duplicating the oe_runmake call.
    - Use `scripts/config` script instead of grepping .config file.# Please edit the description for the branch
