Package Kit: Proper Installation for First Boot Packages

Do the final installation operations for all the packages in the
/system/packages directory when the OS is booted for the first time.

This will run their post-install scripts, create users, groups and generate
settings files (marked with a package version attribute). Previously we just
ran all the shell scripts found in the /system/boot/post-install directory
(don't do that as much now).

Fixes bug #14382

This patch has simpler code flow in CommitTransactionHandler::_ApplyChanges
Tested on 32 and 64 bit systems. Once it's official, need to remove the
open_ssh redundant post-install script that creates users etc. from HaikuPorts.
Now we can notice bugs like package version attributes on settings files aren't
fully working. :-)

Didn't remove special case for add_catalog_entry_attributes.sh since it
still does stuff that the build system doesn't do. Might be able to add
that script as part of the Haiku.hpkg. See change 3751 for removing it,

package kit: Add pre-uninstall scripts feature.

Just like post-install scripts which run shortly after a package is
installed, pre-uninstall scripts are run just before a package is
removed. Implements enhancement #13427

* Fix script exit code handling vs script launch errors.
* Bump package and repo file version numbers due to new attribute,
unfortunately makes new .hpkg files not backwards compatible.
* Add pre-uninstall functionality, mostly cloning the post-install
except in a few places.
* Discover that _RunQueuedScripts() is never called, a future TODO:?
* Update package documentation for pre-uninstall scripts, and use of
the boot/post-install directory.
