package: add configuration option to specify a local override file
The user can now create a custom local override file to override the source directory for various packages. An example override file: ZLIB_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /tmp/zlib STRACE_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /opt/strace-4.5.20 would tell Buildroot to use the zlib and strace source code from the specified directories, instead of download, extracting and patching the code has done usually by Buildroot.

+ A package override file is a short makefile that contains
