[Buildroot] [PATCH 01/15] package/pkg-generic.mk: detect files overwritten in TARGET_DIR and HOST_DIR

[Herve Codina <herve.codina@bootlin.com>]

From: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com>

Without per-package directory support, a package can happily overwrite
files installed by other packages. Indeed, because the build order
between packages is always guaranteed, Buildroot will always produce
the same output.

However, with per-package directory support, it is absolutely critical
that a given package does not overwrite files already installed by
another package, due to how the final aggregation is done to create
the complete target/, staging/ and host/ folders. Unfortunately, we
currently don't have anything in Buildroot that detects this
situation.

We used to have check-uniq-files, but it was dropped in commit
2496189a4207173e4cd5bbab90256f911175ee57.

This commit is a new implementation of such a detection, which is
based on calculating and verifying MD5 hashes of installed files: the
calculation is done at the beginning of the configure step, the
verification during the newly introduced "install" step that takes
place after all installation steps.

Since preventing file overwrites is really only needed when
per-package directory support is used, and due to this verification
having some overhead, it is only enabled when
BR2_PER_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES=y. This additional verification cost is
however not too bad as on average, with per-package directory support,
the per-package target/ and host/ directories will contain less files
than with a build that doesn't use per-package directory support. This
helps a bit in mitigating the additional cost of this verification.

Note that we are not handling separately HOST_DIR and STAGING_DIR,
like we're doing with the pkg_size_{before,after} functions. Instead,
the verification on HOST_DIR walks down into the STAGING_DIR.
