boards: bump Armbian pin to v26.5.1 + add 10 tier4 boards

Bumps the Armbian build framework pin from v26.2.1 to v26.5.1, which
fixes the mainline-kernel archive patch drift that blocked the sunxi
(Allwinner) and mainline-rockchip (rk3399/rk3568/rk3328) families at
v26.2.1. Validated by canaries on v26.5.1: orangepizero3 (sunxi, was
blocked) and rock-5b (rk3588 vendor, regression check) both build clean;
rock-3a (rk3568) past the patch-apply gate.

Adds tier 4 (next-most-popular arm64 boards), selected for popularity +
SoC/vendor spread and each verified against the Armbian v26.5.1 board
configs:
  vendor (rk3588/rk3588s): nanopct6-lts, nanopi-m6, orangepi5pro
  current (rk3399):        rockpi-4b, rockpro64
  current (rk3568):        nanopi-r5s
  current (rk3328):        nanopi-r2s
  current (Allwinner H616): orangepizero2
  current (Amlogic):       khadas-vim3l, bananapim5

targets.yaml tier4-boards (wired into cli-trixie), build-image-simple
board choices, and flasher gen-catalog DEVICES/SHORT updated. With the
pin bump the 7 previously-blocked tier2/3 boards also become buildable.
