[Buildroot] [PATCH] Makefile: introduce check-package target

[Thomas Petazzoni]

The snippet of code that runs a check-package on all
.mk/.hash/Config.in files is currently only available within
.gitlab-ci.yml, and isn't immediately and easily usable by Buildroot
users. In order to simplify this, this commit introduces a top-level
"check-package" make target that implements the same logic. The
.gitlab-ci.yml file is changed to use "make check-package".

Since this target is oriented towards Buildroot developers, we
intentionally do not clutter the already noisy "make help" text with
this additional make target.

I often found myself copy/pasting this find command line from
.gitlab-ci.yml to my shell, and got tired of doing this, hence this
patch.

Hello,

Very handy make target!

You forgot to change .gitlab-ci.yml.in

Shouldn't it be added to noconfig_targets?

Thanks for your review! I've fixed those issues and sent a v2.

Best regards,
