The package manager `opkg` offers the function `whatdepends` to print
packages that depend on a specific package.
This feature is useful when used in a CI to not only build an upgraded
package but all packages with a dependency.
Usage:
make whatdepends PACKAGE=libipset
The resulting list can be fed into a SDK building all packages and warn
if anything fails.

The folder `json_info_files` contains multiple JSON files which describe
created firmware images. The folder is not removed between builds as the
ImageBuilder does not use `image.mk`.
Not removing the JSON files result in a merged `profiles.json` file
containing entries for outdated or non-existing images.
This commit adds the `json_info_files/` cleanup step to the ImageBuilder
Makefile.

The patch 4a1a58a3 build, imagebuilder: Do not require libncurses-dev
was supposed to remove libncurses as a requirement for the ImageBuilder.
However as the IB=1 is only exported during building, not for checking
requirements, it did never actually work.
This commit export IB=1 to the requirement check.
