Allow enforcing postinstall in offline root mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

we're in the progress of switching the OpenWrt build system to use opkg on the 
host system, this requires some features not yet present in the upstream 
version.

Our package postinstall scripts are written in a way that allows executing them 
on the hostsystem (non native architecture) and we rely on that for offline 
root installation, e.g. to enable initscripts or patch config files.

I attached a patch that implements a "--force-postinstall" option which lets 
opkg execute the package postinstall script in offline root mode.

Please consider for inclusion.
