Currently, replacing a package available in openwrt.git requires
modifications in openwrt.git, or requires duplicating the package in a
feed but with a different name, which causes all kind of problems
related to dependencies (all packages selecting it would have to be
modified accordingly to select the new package).

With this change, if a package with the same name is present both in
feeds/ and package/ folders, the one in feeds/ can override the one
in package/, both in the menuconfig and during the build, by passing the
"-f" option to "./scripts/feeds install"

This mechanism is particularly useful for vendor tree, or in general for
application which needs to replace one particular package which exists
within openwrt.git by a custom/newer version.

Notes:
    v2:
    *fix an issue when trying to override packages which include a dependency 
in the
     core packages. (ex: lua depends on liblua, which exists in the core, which
     ended-up in the package not being overridden properly).
    *address John's concerns about core OpenWrt packages being overriden without
     notice and control. Override is now disable by default, and "-f" needs to 
be
     passed to "./scripts/feeds install" to allow it.
    
    v3:
    *fix the errors reported by ./scripts/feeds while installing regular 
packages:
     Use of uninitialized value $override in numeric eq (==) at ./scripts/feeds 
line 400.
