core/pkg-generic: allow packages to declare target-finalize hooks
Currently, packages using target finalize hooks must remember that they need to register their hook in TARGET_FINALIZE_HOOKS conditionally (otherwise their hook will be triggered even if the package is disabled). In order to avoid this potential mistake, this commit introduces a per-package target-finalize hook variable, in which packages can register their target-finalize hooks, with the guarantee that they will only be triggered if the package is enabled.

+Packages may also register hooks in +LIBFOO_TARGET_FINALIZE_HOOKS+.
+These hooks are run after all packages are built, but before the
