  1. linux: Add LTS version 4.14.19

    Announcements and change-logs are available online [1][2].
    
    This release is built with GCC 7.3.0 instead of GCC 5.5.0, and therefore
    contains full mitigation against Spectre v2, cf. commit f4c8184 (gcc:
    Update version from 5.5.0 to 7.3.0).
    
    Before:
    
    ```
    /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown:Mitigation: PTI
    /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1:Mitigation: __user pointer sanitization
    /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2:Vulnerable: Minimal generic ASM retpoline
    ```
    
    After:
    
    ```
    /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown:Mitigation: PTI
    /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1:Mitigation: __user pointer sanitization
    /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2:Mitigation: Full generic retpoline
    ```
