The pkgbase metalog tool is named metalog_reader.lua. (One may argue
that a better name could be chosen, but the README should match in any
case.)

Duplicate METALOG file entries are more of a concern than duplicate
directories. The metalog check tool previously did not include the
entry type in the warnings, making it hard to find the ones of concern.

Previously we stripped the '.' from the beginning of each METALOG entry
to determine the path to stat. This meant that we examined files on the
build host, not the staged files.
Instead, strip off the last part of the specified METALOG pathname to
find the stage root directory, and stat files relative to that.

`metalog.lua` is a script that reads METALOG file created by pkgbase
(make packages) and generates reports about the installed system
and issues.
This was developed as part of Yang's W2020 University of Waterloo co-
operative education term with the FreeBSD Foundation. kevans provided
some initial review; we will iterate on it in the tree.
