76fc9275f1 system: separate sysv and systemd parts of the skeleton
For systemd, we create a simple /etc/fstab with only an entry for /, as
systemd otherwise automatically mounts what it needs where it needs it.

systemd does not like that the content of /var be symlinks to /tmp,
especially journald that starts before /tmp is mounted, and thus the
journal files are hidden from view, which causes quite a bit of fuss...

Instead, move the current /var to a sysv-only skeleton.

systemd at install time will create the /var content it needs, so we
just create an empty /var for systemd.

systemd would create /home and /srv at runtime if they are missing, but
it is better to create them right now, to simplify supporting systemd on
a RO filesystem in the (near) future.

bfd969d29f skeleton: fix absence of /dev/shm on static, read-only systems
/dev/shm is needed for systems using shared memory. On init-based systems
this directory is usually created in the inittab along with /dev/pts, by
the lines:

package/busybox/inittab:
  ::sysinit:/bin/mkdir -p /dev/pts
  ::sysinit:/bin/mkdir -p /dev/shm

package/sysvinit/inittab:
  si2::sysinit:/bin/mkdir -p /dev/pts
  si3::sysinit:/bin/mkdir -p /dev/shm

However this is broken when static /dev management is selected and the root
filesystem is read-only, showing during boot the error:

  mkdir: can't create directory '/dev/shm': Read-only file system

Fix it by creating the empty /dev/shm directory, just like /dev/pts.

6c3e3ad419 New top-level directory: system
This directory groups the following elements:
 * the default root filesystem skeleton
 * the default device tables
 * the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for
   getty, system hostname, etc.)
 * the make rules to apply the system configuration options

Even though the skeleton and device tables could have lived in fs/, it
would have been strange to have the UART, system hostname and other
related options into fs/. A new system/ directory makes more sense.

As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which
has become useless in the process.

[Peter: fixup TARGET_SKELETON settings / documentation to match]
