142ac1aba1 initscripts: don't bg mk_dirs in populate-volatile
If a directory needs to be created to create something else in volatiles,
there's no guarantees on ordering due to the backgrounding. We can't guarantee
with certainty that the create directory commands are complete before the
later ones run. This ensures that we wait for directory creations to complete
before we proceed.

Chris Hallinan hit an actual failure due to this back in March of last year.

348ea458a4 initscripts: Create the volatiles cache atomically.
If a machine loses power while building the volatiles cache, it will
continue to operate with an incomplete set of volatiles. Fix this by
updating atomically.

29d6678fd5 Major layout change to the packages directory
Having one monolithic packages directory makes it hard to find things
and is generally overwhelming. This commit splits it into several
logical sections roughly based on function, recipes.txt gives more
information about the classifications used.

The opportunity is also used to switch from "packages" to "recipes"
as used in OpenEmbedded as the term "packages" can be confusing to
people and has many different meanings.

Not all recipes have been classified yet, this is just a first pass
at separating things out. Some packages are moved to meta-extras as
they're no longer actively used or maintained.
