staging: Introduce /sysroot-only to SYSROOT_DIRS

The '/sysroot-only' in SYSROOT_DIRS is to be used by recipes which
generate artifacts that are not included in the target filesystem.

Also, remove the ${D}/sysroot-only dir before copying D do PKGD to
generate the packages since it is not supposed to be included in
any package.

This will allow recipes to share non-target filesystem artifacts
without needing to use the DEPLOY_DIR and keep it tidy.
