[OE-core] [PATCH 4/5] package_manager.py: better error handling in opkg's package listing

opkg does not return a non-zero exit code even if it found
errors. When that happens, parsing the output leads to strange
follow-up errors.
To avoid this we need to check explicitly for non-empty
stderr. Reporting only that on a failure also leads to shorter error
messages (stdout may be very large).
