This commit implemnts the core of the move to per-package SDK and
target directories. The main idea is that instead of having a global
output/host and output/target in which all packages install files, we
switch to per-package host and target folders, that only contain their
explicit dependencies.

There are two main benefits:

 - Packages will no longer discover dependencies that they do not
   explicitly indicate in their <pkg>_DEPENDENCIES variable.

 - We can support top-level parallel build properly, because a package
   only "sees" its own host directory and target directory, isolated
   from the build of other packages that can happen in parallel.

It works as follows:

 - A new output/per-package/ folder is created, which will contain one
   sub-folder per package, and inside it, a "host" folder and a
   "target" folder:

   output/per-package/busybox/target
   output/per-package/busybox/host
   output/per-package/host-fakeroot/target
   output/per-package/host-fakeroot/host

   This output/per-package/ folder is PER_PACKAGE_DIR.

 - The global TARGET_DIR and HOST_DIR variable now automatically point
   to the per-package directory when PKG is defined. So whenever a
   package references $(HOST_DIR) or $(TARGET_DIR) in its build
   process, it effectively references the per-package host/target
   directories. Note that STAGING_DIR is a sub-dir of HOST_DIR, so it
   is handled as well.

 - Of course, packages have dependencies, so those dependencies must
   be installed in the per-package host and target folders. To do so,
   we simply rsync (using hard links to save space and time) the host
   and target folders of the direct dependencies of the package to the
   current package host and target folders.

   We only need to take care of direct dependencies (and not
   recursively all dependencies), because we accumulate into those
   per-package host and target folders the files installed by the
   dependencies. Note that this only works because we make the
   assumption that one package does *not* overwrite files installed by
   another package.

   This is done for "extract dependencies" at the beginning of the
   extract step, and for "normal dependencies" at the beginning of the
   configure step.

This is basically enough to make per-package SDK and target work. The
only gotcha is that at the end of the build, output/target and
output/host are empty, which means that:

 - The filesystem image creation code cannot work.

 - We don't have a SDK to build code outside of Buildroot.

In order to fix this, this commit extends the target-finalize step so
that it starts by populating output/target and output/host by
rsync-ing into them the target and host directories of all packages
listed in the $(PACKAGES) variable. It is necessary to do this
sequentially in the target-finalize step and not in each
package. Doing it in package installation means that it can be done in
parallel. In that case, there is a chance that two rsyncs are creating
the same hardlink or directory at the same time, which makes one of
them fail.

Changes since v2:
 - Account for <pkg>_EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES in the extract step of the
   package, by rsync'ing their host and target directories to the
   current package host/target directory.

Changes since v1:
 - Remove the LD_LIBRARY_PATH change since we're now longer relying on
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH to allow host programs to find their libraries.
 - Improve commit log according to Arnout suggestions
 - Remove -u option from rsync calls in the main Makefile, suggested
   by Arnout
 - Drop entirely the definitions of <pkg>_TARGET_DIR,
   <pkg>_STAGING_DIR and <pkg>_HOST_DIR, and instead make the global
   TARGET_DIR, HOST_DIR variables point to the per-package directories
   when PKG is defined. Suggested by Arnout.

Using this patchset without any -j.  I found a case with host-setools
where it uses the python-package framework to build and using
setuptools puts a default -I<abs
path>/per-package/host-python/host/include.  Previously this would
have pointed at the full sysroot so now there is a missing include.
I've added it for setools and continued on testing at this point.  I'm
unsure if we would consider this a pkg-python.mk update or each
package.....

 There should also be a -I<abs path>/per-package/host-setools/host/include
because that's in HOST_CFLAGS. Or does this get hardcoded by setuptools?

 BTW, I guess the problem is that it fails to find libselinux or libsepol includes?

I haven't been able to verify where the host-python include is coming
from.  It looks like it might be getting pulled as a default based on
setuptools/python install location.

Correct here's the patch I'm using so far
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/870133/

Once I got past this issue, now setools when building for target has
linker issues but it looks like this packages includes are solved.
