core/sdk: don't mangle symlinks with '.' or '..' at start

The current transform changes any '.' at the start of a filename to
$(BR2_SDK_PREFIX). This also applies to the target of a symlink, when
it is relative.

We thus might end up with something like:
    $(BR2_SDK_PREFIX)/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-ar ->
    $(BR2_SDK_PREFIX)./opt/ext-toolchain/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-ar

when it should be:
    $(BR2_SDK_PREFIX)/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-ar ->
    ../opt/ext-toolchain/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-ar

We fix that by making sure we always remove a known prefix, i.e. we
remove the path to host dir. The obvious solution would be to cd into
$(HOST_DIR)/.. , then tar ./host/ and finally use a --transfrom pattern
as 's,^\./$(notdir $(HOST_DIR)),$(BR2_SDK_PREFIX)'.

Since $(HOST_DIR) can point to a user-supplied location, we don't know
very well how the pattern may patch.

Instead, we cd into / and tar the full path to $(HOST_DIR).

Since tar removes any leading '/', it would spurr a warning message,
which is annoying. So we explicitly remove the leading '/' from
$(HOST_DIR) when we tar it.

Finally, we transform all filenames to replace a leading $(HOST_DIR)
(without a leading /) to the prefix to use.
