This commit allows for binary content in patches created via 'make
update-patches'.
Binary patches are needed for BDFs required for al boards on the new
ipq40xx target. Before this commit, binaries were omitted from the
generated patch which resulted in the patch not able to apply.
Patches without binary content do not differ in case they are created
with the '--binary' flag.
The new extra_image command allows to copy additional images that don't
fall into the sysupgrade or factory categories to the output directory.
These images will be placed in the "other" subdirectory.
The extra_image command takes 3 arguments: in_suffix (suffix in OpenWrt
bin directory), out_suffix (suffix in Gluon output directory) and ext (file
extension). Example:
extra_image '-tftp' '-tftp' '.bin'
The ext argument can be omitted to control the whole filename suffix
including the extension from in_suffix and out_suffix. Multiple extra_image
commands can be used for a single device; aliases work as usual.

In addition to significant internal differences in check_site_lib.lua (in
particular unifying error handling to a single place for the upcoming
multi-domain support), this changes the way fields are addressed in site
check scripts: rather than providing a string like 'next_node.ip6', the
path is passed as an array {'next_node', 'ip6'}.
Other changes in site check scripts:
* need_array and need_table now pass the full path to the sub fields to the
subcheck instead of the key and value
* Any check referring to a field inside a table implies that all higher
levels must be tables if they exist: a check for {'next_node', 'ip6'} adds
an implicit (optional) check for {'next_node'}, which allows to remove many
explicit checks for such tables
We would like to check the file size instead of downloading indefinitely.
The file size is added in another copy of the manifest lines, which is
ignored by older autoupdater implementations.
To reduce the number of packages that need to be listed in
GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES, this adds a new variable GLUON_FEATURES. Sets of
packages are enabled automatically based on the combination of listed
feature flags.
Site-specified package feeds can provide their own feature flag
definitions.
The current autoupdater will only respect the last line for a given model
name, so we can add SHA256 checksums as long as they occur before the
corresponding SHA512 line.
The default abbreviation length depends on factors like user configuration,
git version and number of repository objects. Use unabbreviates IDs to make
patch generation more reproducible.
need_one_of(varname, array, required) checks weather the value of the specified variable is part of given array.
need_array_of(varname, array, required) is similar to need_one_of() but assume that varname points to an array.
