bitbake.conf: set minimum required target kernel to 5.15
In particular this enables a number of useful features in glibc
(which utilize newer kernel APIs), such as actually using 64 bit
time_t versions of kernel syscalls:

In general, OLDEST_KERNEL setting is used in these two places:
- kernel.bbclass compares it with the target kernel version being built.
If a vendor BSP still offers an older kernel, OLDEST_KERNEL should be set to match.
- glibc recipe passes it as a parameter to the build so that additional features
and optimized paths that kernels older than OLDEST_KERNEL are enabled.
Note that there is a related setting, SDK_OLDEST_KERNEL, which remains as
it was (at 3.2.0) to ensure maximum compatibility with kernels on SDK host
machines; that setting is used to build nativesdk-glibc and verify the kernel
version when the SDK is being installed.
Build host kernel versions are not checked directly; compatible distros
are listed instead.
