There are cases when we need to rebuild a package that is installed during
bootstrap (we call those "essential package" here). This patch introduces
`ISAR_REBUILD_ESSENTIAL_PKGS` which can be set in (distro/layer) config, and
lists all essential packages.

During build, Isar ensures that essential packages are built before any others,
so that their locally built versions are available in isar-apt, and will
be used in any subsequent package builds.

This has interdependencies with the proposed multiarch feature,
and builds on v2 of that series.
