PATCH 1/2 configs/beagleboneai: move to u-boot 2025.04 to unbreak build with gcc 14

With the change to default to gcc 14.x with commit 1e1fafa1f0f5 ("package/gcc: switch to GCC 14.x as the default"), the old u-boot version no longer builds:

board/ti/am57xx/board.c:948:17: error: implicit declaration of function 'do_cape_detect'; did you mean 'do_board_detect'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/jobs/11570241744

So move to u-boot 2025.04 to fix that. We still need a small patch as (early) beagleboneai boards do not have the EEPROM (or eMMC partition) populated, so include the bb.org patch from

https://github.com/beagleboard/u-boot/commit/0b161f8e89a411fe54059cf1d0ba61354ee1e8a2

The new u-boot version needs both openssl and gnutls on the host, so enable them.

Series applied to master, thanks.

For info, I fixed a check-package error by removing the stale entry in .checkpackageingore file. See:
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/commit/7ec419fb9c07292dc28b87ccb0ed35b00437dd16

Also, if you still have your board available for testing, I suggest the following maintenance followup patches:

Could you fix the shellcheck warnings in:
board/beagleboard/beagleboneai/post-build.sh
and remove the .checkpackageignore entry

Could you also switch this beagleboneai_defconfig to use a bootlin external glibc stable toolchain please?

Best regards,

Julien.
