build: move package list generation to target_config_lib.lua, fix precedence
The precedence of different package lists was broken since #1876,
disallowing removal of GLUON_FEATURES packages via GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES.

Including all package selections, both implicit defaults and explicit
handling in Gluon, the order of precedence is now the following:

1.  OpenWrt defaults (including target-specific defaults)
2.  Device-specific packages from OpenWrt
3.  Generic default packages (from target/generic)
4.  Target default packages (target/$(GLUON_TARGET))
5.  Removal of opkg for tiny targets
6.  Packages derived from GLUON_FEATURES + GLUON_FEATURES_$(class)
7.  GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES
8.  GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES_$(class)
9.  Device-specific packages from target/$(GLUON_TARGET)
10. Device-specific packages from GLUON_$(device)_SITE_PACKAGES

This also contains various pieces of cleanup:

- No hardcoded order of device classes for target_config.lua arguments
  anymore (in fact, the Makefile doesn't know anything about device
  classes now)
- target_conifg_lib.lua only hardcodes the fallback class for x86, no
  other occurences of specific class names
- Feature -> package list mapping is moved from Makefile to the Lua code
  as well (still implemented in Shell though)

Documentation (incomplete at this time, contribute if you can!) may be found at https://gluon.readthedocs.io/.

If you're new to Gluon and ready to get your feet wet, have a look at the Getting Started Guide.

Gluon's developers frequent an IRC chatroom at #gluon on hackint. There is also a webchat that allows for access from within your browser.

Issues & Feature requests

Before opening an issue, make sure to check whether any existing issues (open or closed) match. If you're suggesting a new feature, drop by on IRC or our mailinglist to discuss it first.

We maintain a Roadmap for the future development of Gluon.

Use a release!

Please refrain from using the master branch for anything else but development purposes! Use the most recent release instead. You can list all releases by running git tag and switch to one by running git checkout v2020.1.1 && make update.

If you're using the autoupdater, do not autoupdate nodes with anything but releases. If you upgrade using random master commits the nodes will break eventually.
