[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH 1/1] add support for overlaying rootfs content

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

This adds support for install-overlay define. When used in package it
allows installing files to a special directory that gets copied to the
root when installing it.
It allows overwriting files provided by other packages.
