PATCH 1/1 package_ipk.bbclass: add lists_dir to sysroots' /etc/opkg.conf

This makes the sysroots' /etc/opkg.conf agree with opkg-collateral on where the package lists database should be found. Fixes a problem whereby opkg cannot find the package lists after opkg-collateral is installed.

This fixes the same problem as acc720fa80227d08fd15764117e0c34e2387e804. But since that doesn't take into account other dependencies bringing opkg-collateral into the image, it doesn't solve the problem in all cases and could probably be reverted.

This is a bit messy, having hardcoded /var/lib/opkg as the lists_dir in multiple locations. Other suggestions welcome.
I'm not sure its all that necessary to be using /usr/lib/opkg other than for backwards compatibility with existing installations.

Agreed about revert, because for ONLINE_PACKAGE_MANAGEMENT == "none" it calls "opkg-cl ${IPKG_ARGS} install " without package name and image creation fails.

Thanks, Graham, I appreciate your looking into this. Your commit for this should definitely go in. I expected my commit was a workaround at best :)
