2359e1223f Clean up naming of old GENTARGETS infrastructure
With the renaming of XXXTARGETS to xxx-package, the names of the
pkg-xxx.mk files is inconsistent, as well as some internal names in
the documentation.  These inconsistencies are cleaned up here.

46fa5cbfb8 Rename XXXTARGETS to xxx-package
With the introduction of a specific macro for host targets, it was decided
to also make the names of the macros more intuitive: generic-package,
autotools-package and cmake-package.

c98337911c pkg-infra: add host-xxx-package macro
Create host-generic-package, host-autotools-package and
host-cmake-package macros.  Such a macro is more intuitive to use than
the $(call ...,host) construct.  Also it speeds things up by having
one less $(call ...) evaluation.

Also includes documentation update, but not for buildroot.html.

This brings the time for 'make -qp' (which is used by bash-completion)
down from 1.85s to 1.35s on my laptop.

9fd16a175b docs: rework LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD documentation
The current structure of the LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD paragraph would make
it difficult to add documentation for the "file" and "local" methods.
There are enough possible values for LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD that
describing them in a sub-list seems to work well, which makes it
easier to add documentation for new methods.

0a4856ce27 DOWNLOAD: change $1=DIRECTORY_URL, $2=FILE_NAME to $1=FULL_FILE_URL, $2=FILE_NAME
This modifies the definition of DOWNLOAD to receive two arguments:
the first one is the full URL of the file to download, whereas the second
(and optional) is the name the file will have once downloaded.

Same thing with the SOURCE_CHECK_WGET and SCP functions.

All calls to these functions have been changed to the shortest form of
the new API, except for toolchains acquisition. Since there is quite a
number of different toolchains this call to DOWNLOAD is better set to the
generic one.

b90b9cc70a docs: add favicon / robots.txt
In the past, these files of the buildroot website weren't under git
version control, but rather were static files added to the git checkout
used by the webserver.

This is no longer the case, so add them to git - And at the same time
use the Buildroot logo for the favicon, rather than reusing the busybox
one.

5f71fc1f19 Remove support for shared configuration cache
The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.

This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

16c1549fd2 documentation: update about new package infrastructures
Document the new generic package infrastructure, and how target/host
packages are handled, both for the generic package infrastructure and
the autotools package infrastructure.

This documentation replaces the documentation that used to be present
at the top of Makefile.autotools.in. Both tutorial and reference
documentation are provided.

5e5f3209f0 documentation: insist more on why output/target/ should not be used
A lot of people complain that the root filesystem generated by
Buildroot doesn't work because it lacks the device files. This is
because they use output/target/ instead of one of the images.

Therefore, insist in the documentation on this point. Even though I'm
unsure if users really read the documentation :-)

524b203588 busybox: invert hide option
Invert the BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_HIDE_OTHERS option to use positive logic,
renaming it to _SHOW_OTHERS.

Positive logic is simpler to understand, and it makes all{,package}config
do the right thing.

58fd779a43 buildroot; move defconfigs to configs/ and print in help
As discussed earlier on the mailing list. It simplifies code, gives more
sensible error message on typos and makes the defconfigs easier to find
for users.

Furthermore, update documentation to match.
