[OE-core] [Draft design][RFC] Running postinst at rootfs generation time

The packages are installed by opkg in their dependency order and are
echoed into the log file, as I know the common package managers (rpm,
dpkg, ...) provide an output of the dependency order of packages or have
a verbose installing output. It may possible to recycle this output as a
control list for the postinst loop instead of using the directory
listing (using tee to get an intermediate listing).
