add script for symlinking paths in $EPREFIX to corresponding paths in host root

cfr. #15

Looks okay to me, though I was working on something similar with Ansible and I would prefer to have it there: I think that's cleaner, and it keeps all the configuration for the compatibility layer in a single file.

If we want to do the same for directories (as CC suggested), this will have to be a bit more aggressive ;-)

[boegel]

Sure, but since it's only files right now, I'd keep it at that for now.

That's not entirely true, since the set of packages to install is already in a separate file too...

There's value in being able to run the steps "manually" as well outside of Ansible imho?

[bedroge]

True, but that file had to be part of the overlay repo. If I would use the Ansible playbook for installing the compatibility layer, I would prefer to have it all together (as much as possible), instead of having to edit both my variables file and bash scripts. I do see the added value of being able to run things manually, though. And since we already describe a manual procedure in the README anyway, maybe we should split it all up and make two different dirs with Ansible and bash stuff?

@bedroge Splitting things up makes sense to me...

[bedroge]

Could you also update .github/workflows/ansible-lint.yml and change line 26:

        targets: "playbooks/*.yml"

to:

        targets: "ansible/playbooks/*.yml"

@bedroge Nice catch... Done in 0a5f04b
