[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 0/8] package/petitboot: misc fixes/enhancement

[Reza Arbab <arbab@linux.ibm.com>]

The br2-external tree used to build OpenPOWER firmware has long carried
petitboot as a custom package[1]. Now that petitboot has been added to
buildroot proper, it would be nice to leverage the base package instead.

To make that transition easier, here is a set of patches which port over
some of the enhancements made to that external package.

v3:
* Add a number of small fixes.

* Add user separation, so the UI runs as non-root.

* Remove udev rules that enabled some additional types of boot devices.
  These should more appropriately live outside of buildroot.

* Remove a sysctl.d file to silence kernel output. I think there's a
  bug upstream; see https://github.com/open-power/petitboot/pull/103

v2:
* Use Laurent's suggested additions to "run pb-console at boot" patch.
