kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs

The kheaders archive consisting of the kernel headers used for compiling
bpf programs is in /proc. However there is concern that moving it here
will make it permanent. Let us move it to /sys/kernel as discussed [1].

This option enables access to the kernel header and other artifacts that
are generated during the build process. These can be used to build eBPF
tracing programs, or similar programs. If you build the headers as a
module, a module called kheaders.ko is built which can be loaded on-demand
to get access to the headers.
