[Buildroot] [PATCH] utils/br-reproduce-build: handle reproducibility failures

Add a condition to check if the config has BR2_REPRODUCIBLE enabled and if it
does, run the build in two output directories - output-1, output-2 - and then
run diffoscope on the generated images.

NOTE: You should have diffoscope installed in order to test reproducibility
failures.
