build_sysext: Remove any opaque directory markers

The Flatcar extension images built with build_sysext created directories
in the overlay in a way that masked contents from other layers.
Instead of fixing the way we create directories, make use of
postprocessing to avoid any similar problems show up again in the
future.

+- Fixed that systemd-sysext images can extend directories where Flatcar extensions are also shipping files, e.g., that the sysext-bakery Kubernetes extension works when OEM extensions are present ([sysext-bakery#50](https://github.com/flatcar/sysext-bakery/issues/50))
