Instead of using xargs to pass a huge number of files to
script/ipkg-remove, which will usually pick only one, use a more
restrictive wildcard so that, currently, at the most 325 files are
examined, instead of up to over 2,300. The 325-file package is python,
which is picking up python3* ipks. It is about to be removed.
Runner-up is ddns-scripts with 7 files.
This makes a second run of make package/luci/compile go from
real 16.40s; user 17.42s; sys 2.73s
to
real 10.71s; user 9.51s; sys 1.27s
There is a caveat though: if one were to remove the ABI_VERSION of a
package that ends in a digit [0-9], then the old package ipk will not be
removed from the bin directory by make package/abc2/clean.

The wildcard call to clean up luci package (luci*) can pick up over
2,300 files when the full tree is built. Running make package/luci/clean
or a second run of make package/luci/compile would fail with an
'Argument list too long' error.
To avoid that, a maybe_use_xargs function was created that runs the
command straight as usual if the number of arguments is < 512, or saves
the list in a temporary file and feeds it to xargs otherwise.

Instead of calling $(wildcard) to check if the removal list is empty,
then calling it again to actually remove the files, define a function so
that the arguments are expanded only once when it gets called.

Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) is a structured naming scheme for
information technology systems, software, and packages.
This information already exists in some makefiles. In order for the
information to be processed further, it should also be added to the
manifest file and the control file of ipkg packages.
