[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH] include/kernel: Do not strip kernel's Elf

If an image gets built as an Elf there's a chance
it will be used by developers for debugging purposes.
In that case it's very helpful to keep debugging info
in that image.

I would think that most OWRT-powered devices in production
will use some form of binary image for booting so Elf
flavours could be left a bit bulkier with more debug info
inside.
