Subject: [PATCH] gnu: linux-libre: add linux-libre-stable &
 linux-libre-longterm

A project I'm involved with would find it convenient to have pointers to
the current stable / longterm kernel header branches, without having to
specify an exact version. This way, we can point to i.e the longterm
branch, and with each time-machine "bump", continue to have whatever the
current longerm branch happens to be. So I'm submitting this patch for
discussion / inclusion. Obviouly one overhead is remembering to keep
these variables in sync whenever the status of the longterm/stable
branches changes.

* gnu/packages/linux (linux-libre-stable): New variable.
  (linux-libre-longerm): New variable.
