[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/5] Add a post-image script mechanism

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.
