[FS#3719] Openwrt image builder instructions for FILES_REMOVE parameter don't seem to work any more.

[OpenWrt Bugs]

THIS IS AN AUTOMATED MESSAGE, DO NOT REPLY.

A new Flyspray task has been opened.  Details are below. 

User who did this - bifferos (bifferos) 

Attached to Project - OpenWrt/LEDE Project
Summary - Openwrt image builder instructions for FILES_REMOVE parameter don't seem to work any more.
Task Type - Bug Report
Category - Documentation
Status - Unconfirmed
Assigned To - 
Operating System - All
Severity - Low
Priority - Very Low
Reported Version - openwrt-19.07
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - I'm attempting to use the x86 image builder for 19.07.7
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.7/targets/x86/64/openwrt-imagebuilder-19.07.7-x86-64.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz

There are some instructions in the documentation at:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/imagebuilder

They say to patch the makefile:

 ifneq ($(USER_FILES),)
 	$(MAKE) copy_files
 endif
+
+ifneq ($(FILES_REMOVE),)
+	@echo
+	@echo Remove useless files
+
+	while read filename; do				\
+	    rm -rfv "$(TARGET_DIR)$$filename";	\
+	done < $(FILES_REMOVE);
+endif
+
 	$(MAKE) package_postinst
 	$(MAKE) build_image

But the Makefile layout seems to have changed since the instructions were written so it isn't clear where to add this.

This is a really handy feature, so I hope the developers will eventually include this to avoid the need to patch the makefile.
