It can be useful to have different configuration use the same post-build
and/or post-image scripts as they share a common infrastructure, but yet
have minor differentiation.
This option allows passing zero or more additional arguments to each
post-build or post-image script.
The same set of extra arguments are passed to all scripts, it is not
possible to pass different arguments to each script.
[Peter: fix help text, post-image gets called with the images dir]

Packages that install daemons may need those daemons to run as a non-root,
or an otherwise non-system (eg. 'daemon'), user.
Add infrastructure for packages to create users, by declaring the FOO_USERS
variable that contain a makedev-syntax-like description of the user(s) to
add.

awk, bison, flex, makeinfo, gettext should be built as dependencies of
packages when needed. In practice, even the toolchain build doesn't
need any of these, and only a few packages do require them.
It is not needed to list gzip and bzip2 since they are already checked
through ${DL_TOOLS}: whenever a package needs gzip or bzip2 for its
extraction, the dependency is added.

At the Buildroot Developers Meeting (4-5 February 2013, in Brussels) a change
to the patch logic was discussed. See
http://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysFOSDEM2013
for details. In summary:
* For patches stored in the package directory, if
package/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply package/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch,
otherwise, apply package/<pkg>/*.patch
* For patches stored in the global patches directory, if
$(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply
$(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch, otherwise, apply
$(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/*.patch
This patch adds the new BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR configuration item, and reworks
the generic package infrastructure to implement the new patch logic.

This commit renames the newly introduced <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP variable
to <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS, for two reasons:
* <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS will not only "fixup" the scripts in
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin, but also remove them from
$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin. So it is not only about doing a "fixup".
* On the principle, it is strange that the variable carries an
indication of the action that will take place on those files. It
should rather be named to say "Here are the <foo>-config scripts",
and let the package infrastructure decide if it should fix them up,
remove them, etc.
This commit also updates the documentation accordingly.

The order of the solutions to customize the root filesystem is
changed: we now mention the post-build script mechanism *before* the
custom root filesystem skeleton mechanism, because the former is
preferred over the latter.
In addition to this, we give a few more details about direct
customization of the root filesystem in output/target, and about the
custom target skeleton solution.
