[Buildroot] [git commit] Add a post-image script mechanism

[Peter Korsgaard]

commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=9fa32ba0b76d0790f67e0cc655c56484e44397bc
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

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.
