Shorten the version string in Netgear factory image header in order
to enable u-boot TFTP recovery flash mode to work again.
Strip 'r7210-14cb05909a' into 'r7210' in the Netgear image header
by removing the hash (anything after "-").
background:
Some Netgear routers have recently been unable to flash Openwrt
factory image with the TFTP recovery flash mode provided by Netgear
u-boot. That is due to over-long Openwrt version string overflowing
into the router type string in u-boot code. Modern git versions
produce 10-digit short hashes for the Openwrt main repo, and that
causes the version string to be too long in the image header,
breaking the image ID verification by the TFTP flash routine.
(Other option could be to force a shorter hash in scripts/getver.sh,
but as the problem only concerns Netgear routers, let's patch just
them.)

commit 138c763 ("build: add --force option to gzip in Build/gzip")

Under environments with busybox gzip (e.g Alpine Linux), this fails

When using pigz, a parallel gzip implementation, the gzip step in the
image build for some targets fails, because the image filename already
has the .gz extension. This results in an emtpy image file. Fix this by
adding the --force option to gzip in the Build/gzip macro.

The current image build code has a number of race conditions and interface
contract violations in the custom image build steps:
- Build/install-zImage, solely used by at91, relies on $(PROFILE_SANITIZED)
which is not available when building with CONFIG_TARGET_MULTI_PROFILE
- Build/at91-sdcard, which may run concurrently, creates scratch files at
fixed locations and manipulates target files directly which can lead
to file corruption and other unexpected failures
Rename the install-zImage macro to at91-install-zImage and move it to the
at91 image Makefile since this target is the sole user. Also utilize "$@"
as output file name and switch the usage of $(PROFILE_SANITIZED) to
$(DEVICE_NAME) in order to fix naming under multi profile builds.
Fix the at91-sdcard macro to construct scratch file paths relative to "$@",
which is guaranteed to be unique and store the final artifact output in "$@"
as well, instead of inside $(BIN_DIR). The generic image build code takes
care of moving a build steps "$@" output to the final destination in a
concurrency-safe manner.
Finally remove the broken install-zImage from the generic image-commands
Makefile.

mpc85xx uses this for firmware image files, since the dtb data is not
directly part of the kernel image. This causes build failures in the
image builder.
Fix this by adding a separate build step that runs this call earlier,
reusing the generated file for any calls from kernel or image build
commands.

There are already two targets (lantiq, ramips) which use mktplinkfw2

them in place of old, (sub)target specific ones.

Using pad-to instead of passing the optional padding to append-kernel
or append-rootfs. It could be that the value of a variable is passed.
In case the variable is empty no error is thrown.
Furthermore the purpose of the extra parameter is hard to get without

At the moment the padding steps are hardcoded. Especially images for
devices with a 4K sector size can be unnecessarily bloated using the
hardcoded padding steps.
It has been observed that 192Kb of padding was added to the image of a
4MB device, albeit due to the 4K sector size the minimum required extra
padding for the jffs2 rootfs_data is 20Kb.
In worst case it means that the image-size check could fail albeit
there is enough space for all selected packages
For device build code not exposing the blocksize, use the hardcoded
padding further on.
