Each of the intermediate, per-rootfs target directories, as well as the
intermediate tarball, can take quite some place, and is mostly a
duplication of what's already in target/. The only delta, if any, would
be the tweaks made by the filesystem image generations, but those tweaks
are most probably only meaningful when seen as root.
We normally do not remove intermediate files, but those can be quite
large, and are not directly usable by, nor accessible to the user.
So, get rid of them once the filesystem has been generated.
This does not need to be done in fakeroot.

Currently, some packages may register hooks to be run just before and
just after the generic tarball image is generated, because they need to
prepare the filesystem for read-only or read-write operation.
However, this means that, if any of the hooks or the image generation
fails, the target directory is left in a dangling, inconsistent state.
We fix that by doing a copy of target/, run the hooks on that copy,
generate the generic tarball image out of that, and get rid of the copy.
This way, we can guarantee consistency of the target directory, and we
can even ditch support for post-fs hooks (those that restore target/).

Currently, some filesystems may want to tweak the content of the target
directory, create special device nodes etc... This all means that:
- the content of the target directory for a specific filesystems may
depend on whether another filesystem is enabled or not; for example,
cpio will create a /init script or symlink and a /dev/console node;
- the filesystems can not be built in parallel, because they may change
the content of the target directory while another is being assembled.
Furthermore, the same fakeroot script is executed over-and-over-again
for each filesystem, to create the device nodes, the users and their
homes and files, and setting permissions...
We introduce an intermediate tarball, for which we do the full fakeroot
shebang.
That tarball then serves as the base for the other filesystems, with a
very simple fakeroot script that untars the common tarball, and calls
the actual filesystem image generator on that.
Note that we use a very simple tar command to generate the intermediate
tarball, because we are not concerned with reproducibility of the
archive itself (only of the archived files).

Like we do for packages with the PKG variable, set ROOTFS to contain the
upper-case name of the rootfs currently being generated.
This will be useful in later patches, when we need more per-rootfs
variables, like a per-rootfs TARGET_DIR for example.
In Makefiles, per-rule variables trickle down the dependency chain, to
all dependencies of that rule, so we have to stop ROOTFS as soon as
we're not in a rootfs. This means we have to stop it at target-finalize
(which is a dependency of all filesystems), and for each package
individually, since some packages (host or target) can be direct
dependencies of filesystems as well.

However, this precludes those hooks from doing actions that require

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.

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.

should not be added to PACKAGES, otherwise an incorrect circular

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.
