contrib: push_pkg: fix lint issues with shellcheck 0.7.1
0.7.1 complains about unescaped backslashes in double quotes (which are
intepreted by printf in the two affected places). While the warning was
retired with shellcheck 0.7.2, it seems like a good idea to fix it
anyways.

contrib: add push_pkg.sh to enhance package development workflow (v2) (#2023)
v2: In contrast to the last patches, this is now built on top of ssh
    only, without using e.g. 9pfs. Furthermore it works also with
    arbitary remote hosts on any target/architecture. Also the
    scripts were renamed and moved to /scripts.

The aim of this commit is to allow fast rebuild cycles during the
development of gluon packages.

Currently the following workflow can be used:

	# start a local qemu instance
	scripts/run_qemu.sh output/images/factory/[...].img

	# do your changes in the file you want to patch
	vi package/gluon-ebtables/files/etc/init.d/gluon-ebtables

	# rebuild and update the package
	scripts/push_pkg.sh package/gluon-ebtables/

	# test your changes
	...

	# do more changes
	...

	# rebuild and update the package
	scripts/push_pkg.sh package/gluon-ebtables/

	# test your changes
	...

	(and so on...)

Implementation details:
- Currently this is based on ssh/scp.
- Opkg is used to install/update the packages in the remote machine.

Benefits:
- This works with compiled and non-compiled packages.
- This works with native OpenWrt and Gluon packages.
- This even performs the check_site.lua checks as they are integrated
  as post_install scripts into the openwrt package.
- It works for all architectures/targets.
