Add a post-image script mechanism
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.
