[OE-core] [PATCH 0/7] run-postinsts refactoring

[Laurentiu Palcu]

Hi all,

My work at #4484 revealed that the package managers deb/ipk/rpm handle removal
of PM meta-data (when the PM is not deployed) and the delayed postinstalls
execution in their own way. Currently we have:
 * run-postinsts (for deb/ipk) and rpm-postinsts (for rpm) for running the delayed
   postinstalls on target when the PM is not part of the image;
 * opkg removes the meta-data and some uneeded packages whilst deb/rpm remove
   only the meta-data;
 * both opkg and deb have no way of running the delayed postinstalls on target,
   if package-management is not part of IMAGE_FEATURES, because the meta-data
   was deleted (and it would have been useless anyway since the PM is not installed);

That being said, this patchset tries to create a more unified solution for all
PM backends.

rpm-postinsts recipe is replaced by run-postinsts but I'll keep it in oe-core
for a while (a couple of weeks maybe), just in case the current solution does not
satisfy the RPM users (I doubt it though).

I did tests with core-image-minimal using sysvinit/systemd and with/without delayed
postinstalls. The results are as expected.

Thanks,
Laurentiu
