package/mdadm: bump to version 4.6
PATCH v3 1/1 package/mdadm: bump to version 4.6
Drop upstreamed/backported patches.
Release announcements:
4.6:

4.4:

Upstream mdadm project has moved its primary development to GitHub:
https://github.com/md-raid-utilities/mdadm
Updated download site accordingly.
mdadm >= 4.5 removed fallback definitions for MD_DISK_FAILFAST (commit f5889f9a1b8753a1472dfef9d025da2bae395239), relying on kernel headers instead.This breaks builds with toolchains using older headers (e.g. 4.9). So, enforce BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_4_10.
Since mdadm 4.6, mdadm --create may prompt for bitmap configuration, which breaks the runtime test.Fix the test by passing --bitmap=none to keep it non-interactive.
---
Changes v1 -> v2:
- add missing 4.4 and 4.5 release links
- switch download site to GitHub
- drop unnecessary MDADM_SOURCE
Changes v2 -> v3:
- fix mdadm runtime test (avoid interactive prompt with --bitmap=none)
- add kernel headers >= 4.10 dependency
