uml: add v6.18 as testing kernel

Check out the TESTING_KERNEL option to build OpenWrt UML with v6.18.
Be aware that the old UML networking is now gone! Please checkout:

https://docs.kernel.org/virt/uml/user_mode_linux_howto_v2.html#setting-up-uml-networking

Note: v6.12 already supported vector transports.
The README.md has been updated to reflect this change.

 To configure networking and more refer to the *user mode linux* documentation
-online. A quick start goes along this line. Install the `uml-utilities`
-packages so you have the `uml_switch` in and running, then add a command param
-to your uml start like this:
+online:
+https://docs.kernel.org/virt/uml/user_mode_linux_howto_v2.html#setting-up-uml-networking
 
-```shell
-eth0=daemon,00:01:01:01:01:01,unix,/<your uml switch control socket here>
-```
-
-With that in, and uml networking actually functional (can be a challenge at
-times), you should be able to `ifconfig` the interface and talk to the host
-side or if you bridged the uml switch to your host network, you should be able
-to run `udhcp` and be away with networking off to the world. Again, if you are
-unfamiliar with uml and uml networking, please read the docs and how-to stuff
-available on the net. It does take some fiddling to get it started and working
-right the first time, but after that, it opens up a whole new world of virtual
-machines.
