Subject: [Buildroot] [git commit] Makefile: check rootfs overlays with
 BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR enabled

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=dc7c6487cff0a418a6605060670571ea9111050a
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Add a step to target-finalize that checks each rootfs overlay, following
the criteria established for custom skeletons and using the same script
uesd by skeleton-custom.mk.

Add a paragraph to the documentation clarifying that rootfs overlays
don't need to contain /bin, /lib or /sbin and must not contain them when
BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR is enabled.
