[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/8] package/opkg-utils: install only utility scripts

When `make install` is run to install the opkg-utils scripts, it also
invokes building of the man page for opkg-build. The generation of the
man page requires `pod2man` executable which is a part of perl.

Since buildroot does not support man pages in the host directory,
patch the opkg-utils Makefile to separate the installation of man
pages and utility scripts.

With the options to install man pages and utils separately, only
install the opkg-utils scripts.

+Subject: Makefile: separate manpages and utils install
+
+The installation of opkg-build man page introduces a host dependency
+on perl for the pod2man package to generate the man page.
+
+To allow the opkg-utils scripts to be installed separately from the
+manpages, break apart the install step into two install steps:
+install-utils and install-docs
+
