run-postinsts: Use opkg/dpkg to configure when possible

run-postinst has not been using package managers to configure the
packages: the code was there all along but a bug prevented it from being used.

I was hesitating sending this a bit as it felt quite difficult to test comprehensively and the change is not completely trivial: as an example the order of postinsts will likely change as it's now handled by the package manager instead of OE. I can still run more tests if anyone has good ideas...

Cheers,
Jussi

Currently run-postinsts script has code to run postinst scripts via opkg/dpkg configure but that code is never used. The advantage of using package managers instead of just executing the scripts is to keep the package manager DB updated.

Fix the script so that the package managers are used when appropriate. Also use $localstatedir for the opkg runtime file location.

Fixes [YOCTO #10478].
