José Luis Salvador Rufo 92da94bf21 support/scripts/check-merged: fix checking custom skeletons
When using a custom skeleton where the merged symlinks are missing,
the build fails with errors like:

    support/scripts/check-merged -t skeleton -u -b /usr/src/simplek8s/rootfs-skeleton
    The skeleton in -t is not properly setup:
    - /usr/bin should exist, be a directory, and not be a symlink
    - /usr/lib should exist, be a directory, and not be a symlink
    The skeleton in skeleton is not properly setup:
    - /usr/bin should exist, be a directory, and not be a symlink
    - /usr/lib should exist, be a directory, and not be a symlink
    [...]

Commit 793ebd5d28 (support/scripts/check-merged: use getopts instead of
getopt) intoduced a flawed use of getopts: unlike getopt, getopts does not
conume the positional arguments.  This causes the check for directory
validity to also check each option as if they were directories.

For overlays, this is transparently ignored, because the checks are only lax
for overlays (missing symlinks are OK).

However, for skeletons, the checks are strict.  Because of that, a missing
symlink is considered an error, when it should be considered as being OK.

The fix is to actually consume the positional args to only keep the list of
directories to validate, like is done for example in
support/download/dl-wrapper.

Yann E. MORIN 793ebd5d28 support/scripts/check-merged: use getopts instead of getopt
Commit 1187c34d88 (support/scripts: move merged-usr errors message
into check-merged-usr.sh) introduced the use of getopt to parse its
options; doing so allowed to use long option (with two leading dashes),
which is more descriptive than the usual one-character options.

However, getopt is part of util-linux; it is not a shell built-in.
util-linux is not a prerequisite of Buildroot, so we may end up running
on a system where it is missing.

We could add host-util-linux as a dependency when the system does not
provide getopt, but that's not very nice; even though host-skeleton does
not need to check for merged-bin for now, it does not need getopt, and
thus we could add host-util-linux (which depends on host-skeleton) as a
dependency of skeleton-custom. But that will not be tenable over the
long run, especially if/when we do a merged-bin in host dir.

Requiring that util-linux be installed system-wide is not nice either;
it's an additional requirement on the host.

We can do like we do in the oter scripts, though: use the shell built-in
getopts. Its usage is slightly different, and does not support long
options. As it's just for use in an internal script, we can live with
the less descriptive options, though.

Switch to using getopts, it removes the need for a new host dependency.

Yann E. MORIN e38cd466c7 support/scripts: reject skeletons or overlays that are unexpectedly merged
Currently, we partially accept that a skeleton or a rootfs overlay be
merged:
  - for unmerged, we accept all kind of situations: unmerged, partially
    merged, badly merged, merged-usr or merged-bin, arbitrary relative
    or absolute symlinks, and whatnots;
  - for merged-usr, we strictly require a properly set up merged-usr,
    and we refuse a merged-bin;
  - for merged-bin, we stricty require a properly set up merged-bin.

The unmerged case is inconsistent with the other cases, especially it
allows for arbitrary symlinks that may point to arbitrary locations that
may even not belong to $(TARGET_DIR) at all...

We fix that by ensuring that the skeleton and overlays strictly adhere
to the merge-level of the configuration; i.e. for an unmerged config, we
require that the skeleton and overlays be strictly unmerged, that is,
/bin, /lib, and /sbin, and their counterparts in /usr, are actual
directories.

Thus, for all three types of merge level, the skeleton and overlays must
match the configured merge level.

Yann E. MORIN 428ac6fcc4 system: add support for merged /usr/sbin (aka merged-bin)
Starting with version 256 [0], systemd warns when /usr/bin and
/usr/sbin are different directories; in the future, it may even
refuse to boot in such a situation.

Add support for merged-bin, not unlike the support we have for
merged-usr; we also make merged-bin a sub-case of merged-usr
(i.e. it is not possible to do merged-bin without merged-usr).

Yann E. MORIN 0eb873bda0 support/scripts: rename check-merged-usr.sh
We're going to need it to check merged-bin, so the naming would be
misleading as it would no longer be just about merged-usr.

Also drop the extension, it's useless.
