Just like we have a post-build script mechanism that gets executed
after the build of all packages but before the creation of the
filesystem images, let's introduce a post-image script mechanism, that
gets executed once all filesystem images have been generated.

This can for example be used to call a tool building a firmware image
from different images generated by Buildroot, or automatically extract
the tarball root filesystem image into some location exported by NFS,
or any other custom action.

v2 -> v3:
 * Change 'script' -> 'scripts' in the config option prompt, as
   suggested by Samuel Martin.

This is always true as BR2_ROOTFS_POST_IMAGE_SCRIPT atleast contains "",
so I changed this to check for "" like the post-build script and
committed, thanks.
