[ELDK] [PATCH 3/5] Split POPULATE step into CLEAN and ADD_DIRS

When creating a new, empty root file system, the code also added some
commonly needed directories like "/usr", "/tmp", or "/var".  This
caused problems when a user wanted to install these names differently
as part of his "custom" files - for example, in read-only file systems
one might want to install "/tmp" and "/var" as symbolic links pointing
to some other, writable file system.

To make this possible, the POPULATE step war renamed and split into
two steps: CLEAN will perform the initial part of creating a new,
empty root file system, while ADD_DIRS will be run after all other
activities and then only add these standard directories that are still
missing.
