Subject: [PATCH] ci: add script to run libbpf sync non-interactively

Run sync-kernel.sh with stdin from /dev/null, so that any prompt asking
for human input fails the sync.

The exit code of sync-kernel.sh isn't reliable (e.g., it exits with 0
when interrupted), so tell from its output whether the sync went
through or there was nothing to sync.

On success, leave a bundle with the sync branch, patches and a pull
request description with the sync log in the output directory.
