[Buildroot] [RFC 0/4] add genimage Kconfig entry

Many boards specific postimage scripts are almost use only to execute
the genimage host tool.

The purpose of this RFC is to provide a generic wrapper for the
genimage tool, in order to reduce boilerplate.

The first two patches add the generic genimage plumbing.
The next two patches are examples of post-image scripts simplification.

The new target-genimage targer is called after the target-post-image
target since that is most of the board use cases. odroidc2 is an
exception, we can still execute genimage in its post-image script.

If there is no objection to the first two patches, I will submit a new
patch series introducing this change to all boards using genimage.

Etienne Phelip (4):
  support/scripts: add generic genimage script
  system: add option to pass genimage config files
  configs/raspberrypi3_defconfig: set BR2_GENIMAGE_CFG_FILES
  board/acmesystems/aria-g25: set BR2_GENIMAGE_CFG_FILES
