Prepares the v6.3.0 cut: SO3_KERNEL_VERSION_FALLBACK is what a build from a tree without git metadata (tarball, bitbake workdir copy) banners, so it has to be right before the tag — v6.2.4 shipped it a release behind, which v6.2.5 then had to fix.

Note: main was still reading 6.2.4. The 6.2.5 resync lives on release/v6.2 only, because the after-tag propagation to main carries the CHANGELOG, the README table and the recipe pins — not this constant. Worth adding to the checklist.

release/v6.3 is branched from main once this lands.

Bump it before cutting release/v6.3, as version.h asks: a build from a tree
without git metadata (tarball, bitbake workdir copy) banners this constant.

main was still reading 6.2.4 — the 6.2.5 resync lives on release/v6.2 only,
since the after-tag propagation carries the CHANGELOG, the README table and
the recipe pins but not this constant. Worth remembering when cutting the
next release from main.
The propagate checklist already lists SO3_KERNEL_VERSION_FALLBACK, but the
constant matters twice: in the release commit set, so the tagged tree
banners the right version, and again on main, so the next release does not
start a version behind. main sat at 6.2.4 while release/v6.2 was at 6.2.5
because only the second half was obvious.
