skeleton-custom does not install the required /bin, /lib and /sbin
directories (or symlinks), which may result in an imcomplete tree, The
user could add the required directories/symlinks to the skeleton but
they may be invalid, depending on the state of BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR.
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR and BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD
- Set BR2_ROOTFS_SKELETON_CUSTOM_PATH to "system/skeleton"
- Run "make skeleton"
- target/{bin.lib,sbin} will not exist
Add calls to SYSTEM_USR_SYMLINKS_OR_DIRS to INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS and
INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS, so the required directories or symlinks are
created.
Add a paragraph to the documentation clarifying that custom skeletons
don't need to contain /bin, /lib or /sbin and must not contain them when
BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR is enabled.

+Custom skeletons don't need to contain the '/bin', '/lib' or '/sbin'
+ directories, since they are created automatically during the build.
+ When +BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR+ is enabled, then the custom skeleton must
+ not contain the '/bin', '/lib' or '/sbin' directories, as Buildroot
+ will create them as symbolic links to the relevant folders in '/usr'.
+ In such a situation, should the skeleton have any programs or
+ libraries, they should be placed in '/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin' and
+ '/usr/lib'.

This method is not recommended because it duplicates the entire
skeleton, which prevents taking advantage of the fixes or improvements
brought to the default skeleton in later Buildroot releases.
