The external script used to generate the package lists for the
LEDE wiki's table of packages [1] and package indexes [2] requires
a "Source:" field in the package lists to find package makefiles.
The package makefiles are used to read the package's Category and Submenu.
The "Source:" field was removed in commit
b4aa3c899c
to reduce package list sizes and lessen opkg issues in low ram devices.
Add a separate package list file with full data to be used by the wiki's script.
It's called Packages.manifest and isn't compressed as it's not necessary.

We have switched opkg to sha256 a long time ago, and shrinking package
lists is useful for systems that are running low on RAM

Since the output of ipkg-make-index.sh is unconditionally used to create
the Packages file, sending the errors into this file is unacceptable
(both because they are not shown to users and because they make an
invalid Packages file).
For incorrect invocation, write to stderr.
For errors from which, send to /dev/null with stdout.
