Richard Purdie 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.

This configuration file lists filesystem objects that should get verified

during startup and be created if missing.

Every line must either be a comment starting with

or a definition of format:

where the items are separated by whitespace !

: d|f|l : (d)irectory|(f)ile|(l)ink

A linking example:

l root root 0777 /var/test /tmp/testfile

f root root 0644 /var/test none

Understanding links:

When populate-volatile is to verify/create a directory or file, it will first

check it's existence. If a link is found to exist in the place of the target,

the path of the target is replaced with the target the link points to.

Thus, if a link is in the place to be verified, the object will be created

in the place the link points to instead.

This explains the order of "link before object" as in the example above, where

a link will be created at /var/test pointing to /tmp/testfile and due to this

link the file defined as /var/test will actually be created as /tmp/testfile.
