[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] Revert "fs: use pseudo instead of fakeroot"

Using pseudo instead of fakeroot is not without bringing new issues:
  - dependency on sqlite3 and attr,
  - not compatible with python3.

The last one is the most troublesome, as it is very difficult to make it
compatible (as <dkc> said on IRC: we played the "is this a string or a
byte array?" game).

Revert back to using fakeroot for the release.

We can revisit using pseudo when upstream has fixed the python3 issues
(the process is on-going).

This reverts commit 8035ceb56cc3ba2541aba0d0ead3f29900d9e310.
