fs/common: add option to execute custom scripts under fakeroot
Some users have the need to be able to tweak the content of the target
rootfs with root-like rights, that is, from inside the fakeroot script.
Add a new system option to allow those users to provide a list of
scripts, like the post-build and post-image scripts, that will be run
from our fakeroot script.
[Peter: pass TARGET_DIR to scripts, tweak help text]
