[Buildroot] [PATCH] Avoid make distclean to remove packages fromrootfs

^^^^ these lines are not enough and sometime are too much (i.e.: about
losing the customization)

rm -rf project_build_ARCH/PROJECT/autotools-stamps

^^^^ this line resolves the problem to reinstall everything (apart
libfreetype which buggy installation put them in staging_dir but not
in target_dir)

> fastest method I have found because this only copies files.

Attached patch allow two more targets:

make install

or

make rootclean install


 I hope this helps,
