7ae2b8ef88 manual: split info on hooks to a separate section/file
Split out the information on hooks to a separate section (and source file).
Not only because the hooks are useful for all infrastructures (and thus
don't really fit specifically in the generic infrastructure section), but
also for clarity when the info on hooks will be expanded in later patches.

e8ab39a7b5 infra: Add POST_RSYNC_HOOKS support
One of the use cases is for the 'local packages' to restore
the SCM info.  Some packages use this information to generate
version info during build time.  In this case, the local package
can have this hook to restore it by symbolic link for example.

2c13d5bc60 package: add a <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS variable
Converting the external toolchain logic into a package raises a very
special use case that wasn't handled by the package infrastructure:
the Blackfin toolchain is delivered as two tarballs instead of
one. Unfortunately <pkg>_SOURCE only allows to pass one tarball name.

However, we really want both tarballs to be known by the package
infrastructure, so that the normal 'source' and 'external-deps'
mechanism work fine.

In order to achieve this, we add a <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS variable,
which allows a package to list other stuff it would like to see
downloaded, but that are otherwise not used by the package
infrastructure itself: it is up to the package to do it by itself.

1f3af04db7 packages: add ability for packages to create users
Packages that install daemons may need those daemons to run as a non-root,
or an otherwise non-system (eg. 'daemon'), user.

Add infrastructure for packages to create users, by declaring the FOO_USERS
variable that contain a makedev-syntax-like description of the user(s) to
add.

4705347ddf package: rename <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP to <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS
This commit renames the newly introduced <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP variable
to <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS, for two reasons:

 * <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS will not only "fixup" the scripts in
   $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin, but also remove them from
   $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin. So it is not only about doing a "fixup".

 * On the principle, it is strange that the variable carries an
   indication of the action that will take place on those files. It
   should rather be named to say "Here are the <foo>-config scripts",
   and let the package infrastructure decide if it should fix them up,
   remove them, etc.

This commit also updates the documentation accordingly.

834f9311aa pkg-infra: add <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP to fix *-config files
This patch will add <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP variable to buildroot infra.

It's purpose is to inform buildroot that the package in question
contains some $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/*-config files and that we
want to automatically fix prefixes of such files.

It is often the case that many packages call these
files during their configuration step to determine 3rd party
library package locations and any flags needed to link against them.

For example:
Some package might try to check the existense and linking flags
of NSPR package by calling $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/nspr-config --prefix.
Without this fix. NSPR would return /usr/ as it's prefix which is
wrong when cross-compiling.
Correct would be $(STAGING_DIR)/usr.

All packages that have <pkg>_INSTALL_STAGING = YES defined and
also install some config file(s) into $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin must
hereafter also define <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP with the correspondig
filename(s).

For example:

DIVINE_CONFIG_FIXUP = divine-config

or for multiple files:

IMAGEMAGICK_CONFIG_FIXUP = Magick-config Wand-config

5e84b8b73c manual: rework the whole documentation stub
The new skeleton of the manual as it has been thought:
1.  About Buildroot:
     Presentation of Buildroot
2.  Starting up:
     Everything to quickly and easily start working with Buildroot
3.  Working with Buildroot
     Basics to make your work fitting your needs
4.  Troubleshooting
5.  Going further in Buildroot's innards
     Explaination of how buildroot is organised, how it works, etc
6.  Developer Guidelines
7.  Getting involved
8.  Contibuting to Buildroot
9.  Legal notice
10. Appendix

It is easy to distinguish two parts in this plan:
- Sections 1 to 4 mainly address people starting with Buildroot
- Sections 5 to 10 are more focused on how to develop Buildroot itself

Most of the existing sections have just been moved in the hierarchy,
few were split and dispatch in, what i think was the relevant section,
and numerous others have been created.
