Overhauled rescue/default/010_merge_skeletons.sh
triggered by https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2307

Works much better for me with my tests.

  • Brief description of the changes in this pull request:

Make rescue/default/010_merge_skeletons.sh
behave more reliably and more fail safe.

Now it errors out when things really went wrong.

Now is is also supported that both a $skel_dir directory
(e.g. usr/share/rear/skel/default/) plus a $skel_dir.tar.gz
(e.g. usr/share/rear/skel/default.tar.gz) exist
and then both get copied into the recovery system,
first the directory and then the tar.gz so that via the tar.gz
existing files could be overwritten if needed.
