[Buildroot] [git commit] package/edk2-platforms: fix installation

[Arnout Vandecappelle]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=dbf381c19932d0c9f27165e711f5899b3de44876
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

There are currently three issues with the installation step:

 1. it does not ensure the parent destination directory exists before
    copying into it, so if /usr/share has not been created in the
    dependency chain of edk2-platforms, the installation fails, which
    may very well happen easily as edk2-plaforms has nothing in its
    dependency chain (except the toolchain et al.);

 2. all our dot-stampfiles and .files-list are also copied, as well as
    the Readme, license files, and maintainers file. All of those are
    useless on the target (and the .files-list introduce
    non-reproduciiblity);

 3. of a lesser importance, the construct to install, and specifically
    to reinstall, does not match what we usually do in Buildroot
    (removal of the directory to copy).

We fix all three in one fell swoop:

 1. create the destination directory if needed;
 2. copy just the directories with the actual platform descriptions
