main/linux-postmarketos-stericsson: upgrade to 5.8-rc2

Administrator requested to merge u8500-58rc2 into master

Finally a long overdue update for the mainline kernel fork used in samsung-golden! This MR updates it to 5.8-rc2.

First the package is renamed from linux-postmarketos-novathor to linux-postmarketos-stericsson. I think this name better reflects the names used within the Linux kernel (NovaThor isn't mentioned anywhere there). Or as @minlexx likes to say "another MR with renames for the sake of renames" :D

Then the kernel is upgraded to 5.8-rc2 with the following changes:

  • Update to Linux 5.8-rc2
  • samsung-golden:
    • Add magnetometer (contributed by @Nickre)
    • Add proximity sensor (new driver by Linus Walleij)
    • Add touchkeys (contributed by @Nickre)
  • Initial support for samsung-skomer (postmarketOS device package coming soon)
