Previously, dead links in target directory will not be copied.
This is incorrect as dead links are not uncommon in our rootfs.
So we use '-a' option instead.

If we're building a read-only rootfs, we'll get the following error now
and then.
tar: .: file changed as we read it
The root cause is that we spawn background process at rootfs time.
When the tar command is running, it's possible that files under rootfs
are changed by background processes, thus this error.

It's possible that a 'No such directory' error occurs when doing
check_requirement in populate-volatile.sh at rootfs time. This is
because the $ROOT_DIR/var/tmp might be a dead link.
Use $ROOT_DIR/var/volatile/tmp as the TMPDIR instead to avoid this
error.

This avoids triple slashes in the generated /etc/volatile.cache to
reduce disk usage and in the output when verbose mode is enabled.
As all the paths for volatiles start with a slash, we can change
TNAME=${ROOT_DIR}/${TNAME} to TNAME=${ROOT_DIR}${TNAME}. To avoid
a double slash when ROOT_DIR is /, we strip the extra slash from
ROOT_DIR.

Previously, if there's a link config item in the config file like
l root root 1777 /tmp /var/tmp
and /tmp has existed, the symlink will not be created correctly.
Another example is the /run directory. If /run directory has been
created by some recipe or script before populate-volatile.sh runs,
the symlink of /run to /var/run will not be created correctly.
This patch ensures that the system creates symlinks exactly as the
config file tells it.

For populate-volatile.sh script to run correctly both at rootfs time and
at system boot time, it needs to be aware of which situation it is now in.
We use the ROOT_DIR variable to indicate whether it is run at rootfs time or
not. ROOT_DIR being "/" indicates that this script is run at system boot time,
otherwise, it is run at rootfs time.
Also, we ignore failures when running this script at rootfs time.
For example, if ${ROOT_DIR}/var/dir1 is symlink to /var/volatile/dir1, it's
possible that the link is a dead link. So if we're going to create some file
under ${ROOT_DIR}/var/dir1, it will fail. But the failure does no harm,
because this script will always run at system boot time to set up the correct
files and directories.

If a directory needs to be created to create something else in volatiles,
there's no guarantees on ordering due to the backgrounding. We can't guarantee
with certainty that the create directory commands are complete before the
later ones run. This ensures that we wait for directory creations to complete
before we proceed.
Chris Hallinan hit an actual failure due to this back in March of last year.

If a machine loses power while building the volatiles cache, it will
continue to operate with an incomplete set of volatiles. Fix this by
updating atomically.

Having one monolithic packages directory makes it hard to find things
and is generally overwhelming. This commit splits it into several
logical sections roughly based on function, recipes.txt gives more
information about the classifications used.
The opportunity is also used to switch from "packages" to "recipes"
as used in OpenEmbedded as the term "packages" can be confusing to
people and has many different meanings.
Not all recipes have been classified yet, this is just a first pass
at separating things out. Some packages are moved to meta-extras as
they're no longer actively used or maintained.
