  1. Makefile: Implement several improvements to SCST Makefiles 

    1. Correct a typo, changing `make release` to `make 2release`.
2. Add information about package-related targets to the help section.
3. Remove `dev_handler` directory during the uninstall process.
4. Eliminate the non-existent `tgt` target from the PHONY targets.
5. Introduce SCST_MOD_DIR and SCST_DH_MOD_DIR as helper variables.

  2. Makefile: Specify the installation directory for SCST modules explicitly 

    This patch fixes the installation process for Linux kernels where the
default value of INSTALL_MOD_DIR differs from `extra`.

For instance, it unbreaks `make rpm` against Fedora's kernels, where
INSTALL_MOD_DIR is set to `updates`.

  3. scst/src/Makefile: Fix depmod warnings during installation process 

    This patch fixes the following warnings:

  /lib/.../scst_cdrom.ko needs unknown symbol scst_obtain_device_parameters
  /lib/.../scst_cdrom.ko needs unknown symbol scst_unregister_dev_driver
  ...

These warnings were caused by an incorrect module installation order:
the SCST module was being installed after the device handler modules
on which they depend. This patch rectifies the issue by altering the
order in which the modules are installed.

Additionally, this patch fixes the missing signatures for the device
handler modules.
