[Buildroot] [v2] fs/aci: Add App Container Image (ACI) support to filesystems

App Container Images (ACI) are a Linux containerization image format
defined as a part of the AppC specification as defined by CoreOS,
Red Hat, Google, and community members. These images consist of a Linux
userland and a JSON metadata file describing how to execute the actual
runtime.

This filesystem package utilizes Buildroot for the generation of
the userland and provides the user with a mechanism for configuring the
contents of the manifest file.

---
Changes v1 -> v2
  - Remove accidental 'default' of the fs/aci
  - Remove dependency on host Jq
  - Remove numerous "depends" lines in Kconfig, now in if block
  - Set default name of localhost/buildroot as well as error check
  - Allowed user to specify external manifest
  - Enabled setting of timestamp annotation via a (non default) config
    option
  - Set default version via sha256 of .config file
  - Added dependency on specific architectures
  - Moved logic for architecture checks into Kconfig
  - Use qstrip to clean up variables
  - Export variables to scripts in package to avoid numerous
    re-declarations
  - Removed setting of xattrs in tar command
  - Removed accidental re-use of TAR_OPTS
  - Decoupled initial creation of tarball and adding of additional files
    to simplify logic
  - Removed stray debugging "echo" lines used during development
  - Removed extra blank lines
  - Moved logic for generation of json manifest into a shell script
