Multiple profiles create artifacts, these should be stored in the JSON
file as well, allowing downstream tooling to show those files, too.
Artifacts don't have specific filesystems so only the fields `name`,
`type` and `sha256` are available.
Rename env variable names from IMAGE_ to FILE_ prefixes to reflect that
images, kernels and artifacts are added with the same command.

We so far had two variables IMG_PREFIX and IMAGE_PREFIX with
different content. Since these names are obviously quite
confusing, this patch renames the latter to DEVICE_IMG_PREFIX,
as it's a device-dependent variable, while IMG_PREFIX is only
(sub)target-dependent.
For consistency, also rename IMAGE_NAME to DEVICE_IMG_NAME, as
that's a device-dependent variable as well.

Some images are created using different filesystems, most popular
squashfs and ext4. To allow downstream projects to distinguesh between
those, add the `filesystem` information to created json files.

The source date epoch is the only reproducible date close to the actual
build date. It can be used for tooling like the firmware wizard to show
the image age.

With this commit the `profiles.json` contain both the target specific
`default_packages` as well as the device specific `device_packages` as a
array of strings.
This information is required for downstream projects like the various
web-based interactive firmware generators.

JSON info files contain machine readable information of built profiles
and resulting images. These files were added in commit 881ed09ee6
("build: create JSON files containing image info").
They are useful for firmware wizards and script checking for
reproducibility.
Currently all JSON files are stored next to the built images, resulting
in up to 168 individual files for the ath79/generic target.
This patch refactors the JSON creation to store individual per image
(not per profile) files in $(BUILD_DIR)/json_info_files and create an
single overview file called `profiles.json` in the target directory.
Storing per image files and not per profile solves the problem of
parallel file writes. If a profiles sysupgrade and factory image are
finished at the same time both processes would write to the same JSON
file, resulting in randomly broken outputs.
Some target like x86/64 do not use the image code yet, resulting in
missing JSON files. If no JSON info files were created, no
`profiles.json` files is created as it would be empty anyway.
As before, this creation is enabled by default only if `BUILDBOT` is set.
Tested via buildroot & ImageBuilder on ath79/generic, imx6 and x86/64.

The JSON info files contain details about the created firmware images
per device and are stored next to the created images.
The JSON files are stored as "$(IMAGE_PREFIX).json" and contain some
device/image meta data as well as a list of created firmware images.
