Problem: With the new Overlay Feeds feature Makefile.append files would be appended to <package>/Makefile
code, as result OpenWRT build system should interpret this files as <package>/Makefile dependency in same
manner as includes defined with SCAN_DEPS variable.
Cause: Overlay Feeds is a new feature and requires support for new files.
Solution: Scan all enabled feeds for Makefile.append files and add "$(TOPDIR)/feeds/<feed_name>/path/to/<package>/Makefie.append"
as dependency for "tmp/info/.packageinfo-<path_to_package>" files.

Packages overridden with "./scripts/feeds -f" will show up with an
"Override: <original-package-name>" in .packageinfo.
This will be useful to create a corresponding option in .config and
use this information during the build process.

Currently, replacing a package available in openwrt.git requires
modifications in openwrt.git, or requires duplicating the package in a
feed but with a different name, which causes all kind of problems
related to dependencies (all packages selecting it would have to be
modified accordingly to select the new package).
With this change, if a package with the same name is present both in
feeds/ and package/ folders, the one in feeds/ can override the one
in package/, both in the menuconfig and during the build, by passing the
"-f" option to "./scripts/feeds install"
This mechanism is particularly useful for vendor tree, or in general for
application which needs to replace one particular package which exists
within openwrt.git by a custom/newer version.
