The only users of post-target rules were ext2, cpio and initramfs.
Of those, ext2 and cpio were changed to use post-gen hooks, while
initramfs was not even using the generic rootfs infra and was fixed
to no longer reference post-target rules.
Besides, the comment in the infra was really misleading: it referenced
initramfs implying it was the sole user of that feature, even though
initramfs was not using the fs infra.
Furthermore, using post-target rules was inherently broken for top-level
parallel builds, because filesystems had to ensure the ordering by
themselves. Of the two real users of post-target rules (cpio and ext2),
one did enforce rules ordering (apparently correctly), while the other
forgot to do so.
We can get rid of post-target rules altogether, now.
Add a legacy check, to catch out-of-tree (e.g. br2-external) users of
post-target rules, and instruct them to switch to post-gen hooks instead.

When multiple hooks are registred, both pre-a and post-command hooks'
foreach loops need to have a separator at the end in order for the
code to work as intended. Without the separator all hooks end up as a
one single line command thus making all but the first hook into
no-ops.

In some cases, the directory structure we want in the filesystem is not
exactly what we have in target/
For example, when systemd is used on a read-only rootfs, /var must be a
tmpfs. However, we may have packages that install stuff in there, and
set important rights (via the permission-table). So, at build time, we
need /var to be a symlink to the remanent location (/usr/share/factory)
while at runtime we need /var to be a directory.
One option would have been to have /var as a real directory even during
build time, and in a target-finalize hook, move everything out of there
and into the "factory" location. However, that's not possible because
it's too early: some packages may want to set ownership and/or acces
rights on directories or files in /var, and this is only done in the
fakeroot script, which is called only later during the assembling of the
filesystem images.
Also, there would have been no way to undo the tweak (i.e. we need to
restore the /var symlink so that subsequent builds continue to work) if
it were done as a target-finalize hook.
The only solution is to allow packages to register pre- and post-hooks
that are called right before and right after the rootfs commands are
executed, and inside in the fakeroot script.
We can however not re-use the BR2_ROOTFS_POST_FAKEROOT_SCRIPT feature
either because it is done before the filesystem command, but there is
nothing that is done after. Also, we don't want to add to, and modify a
user-supplied variable.
So, we introduce two new variables that packages can set to add the
commands they need to run to tweak the filesystem right at the last
moment.
Those hooks are not documented on-purpose; they are probably going to
only ever be used by systemd.

Commit 4570dbcb14
("4570dbcb14b394d8f3c97baf4c9e5f4f225d1d37") added the dependencies of
rootfs building logic to PACKAGES, only thinking about the case where
rootfs building logic actually depends on real, normal packages
(host-mtd, host-genext2fs, etc.). But some file systems (rootfs-ubi)
depend on other filesystem images (rootfs-ubifs). And such targets
should not be added to PACKAGES, otherwise an incorrect circular
dependency is created.
This commit fixes that by only adding the rootfs building logic
dependencies that do *not* start with rootfs- to the global PACKAGES
variable.

The inner-xxx-targets in the buildroot package infrastructures are
evaluated using $(eval) which causes variable references to be a bit
different than in regular make code. As we want most references to be
expanded only at the time of the $(eval) we should not use standard
references $(VAR) but rather use double dollar signs $$(VAR). This includes
function references like $(call), $(subst), etc. The only exception is the
reference to pkgdir/pkgname and numbered variables, which are parameters to
the inner block: $(1), $(2), etc.
This patch introduces consistent usage of double-dollar signs throughout the
different inner-xxx-targets blocks.
In some cases, this would potentially cause circular references, in
particular when the value of HOST_FOO_VAR would be obtained from the
corresponding FOO_VAR if HOST_FOO_VAR is not defined. In these cases, a test
is added to check for a host package (the only case where such constructions
are relevant; these are not circular).
Benefits of these changes are:
- behavior of variables is now again as expected. For example, setting
$(2)_VERSION = virtual in pkg-virtual.mk will effectively work, while
originally it would cause very odd results.
- The output of 'make printvars' is now much more useful. This target shows
the value of all variables, and the expression that led to that value.
However, if the expression was coming from an inner-xxx-targets block, and
was using single dollar signs, it would show in printvars as
VAR = value (value)
while if double dollar signs are used, it would effectively look like
VAR = value (actual expression)
as is intended.
This improvement is for example effective for FOO_DL_VERSION, FOO_RAWNAME,
FOO_SITE_METHOD and FOO_MAKE.
The correctness of this patch has been verified using 'make printvars',
'make manual' and 'make legal-info' before and after applying this patch,
and comparing the output.

This makes things easier to understand and more consistent with the pkg-infra.
For example, it removes the need for '$$@' in the CMD variables of fs/*/*.mk.

override file.
It also makes sure that the date will be recorded correctly in Yann E. Morin's
patch that logs the MESSAGE macros to a file.
The fs/*/*.mk must be updated as well because the '$@' shouldn't be quoted

The $(eval ...) for the dependencies is redundant, because the $(ROOTFS_TARGET)

A very common mistake done by our users is that they use
output/target/ directory as their root filesystem. Even though this is
loudly documented in our Buildroot manual, people don't read
documentation, so it is not sufficient.
This patch adds a text file named
output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM which explains why
output/target isn't appropriate to use as the root filesystem. The
process is:
* At the beginning of the build, right after the skeleton has been
copied, support/misc/target-dir-warning.txt is copied to
output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM
* In the filesystem images creation code, this file is removed before
launching fakeroot, and restored right after that, so that this
file is not present in the generated root filesystem images.
Note that the file has not been added to the default skeleton for two
reasons:
* It would have annoying to have in our source tree a file named in
capital letters inside system/skeleton/
* The proposed way works even if the user uses a custom skeleton.
