77007ad950 manual/user guide: high-level restructuring
This patch performs some additional restructuring of the manual,
specifically in the User Guide. In detail:

- Rename 'Daily use' to 'General Buildroot usage'
- Move chapters 'make tips', 'Eclipse integration', and 'Advanced usage' as
  sections under the 'General Buildroot usage' chapter.
- Rename 'Details on Buildroot configuration' into 'Buildroot configuration'
- Rework the 'Customization' section as follows:
  - Move the short section on debugging the external toolchain wrapper into
    the rest of the explanation on external toolchains.
  - Remove the now redundant section on toolchains, as this is already
    explained in much more detail in the 'Buildroot configuration' chapter.
  - Move the sections on busybox/uclibc/kernel configuration from chapter
    'Customization' into a separate chapter 'Configuration of other
    components'.
  - Rename the remaining part of the original 'Customization' chapter into
    'Project-specific customization' and fold it together with the next
    chapter 'Storing the configuration'
- Remove the chapter 'Going further in Buildroot innards' thanks to:
  - Moving the chapter 'How Buildroot works' to the Developer guide.
  - Moving the 'Advanced Buildroot usage' section to the 'General Buildroot
    usage' chapter.
- Remove the chapter 'Hacking Buildroot' by:
  - Adding a reference to adding packages to the 'Project-specific
    customizations' chapter
  - Leaving out the explicit reference to creating board support, as this is
    part of the previous chapter already, so an extra reference is
    redundant.

86a415df8a manual: use one-line titles instead of two-line titles (trivial)
Asciidoc supports two syntaxes for section titles: two-line titles (title
plus underline consisting of a particular symbol), and one-line titles
(title prefixed with a specific number of = signs).

The two-line title underlines are:
Level 0 (top level):     ======================
Level 1:                 ----------------------
Level 2:                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 3:                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Level 4 (bottom level):  ++++++++++++++++++++++

and the one-line title prefixes:
= Document Title (level 0) =
== Section title (level 1) ==

=== Section title (level 2) ===
==== Section title (level 3) ====
===== Section title (level 4) =====

The buildroot manual is currenly using the two-line titles, but this has
multiple disadvantages:

- asciidoc also uses some of the underline symbols for other purposes (like
  preformatted code, example blocks, ...), which makes it difficult to do
  mass replacements, such as a planned follow-up patch that needs to move
  all sections one level down.

- it is difficult to remember which level a given underline symbol (=-~^+)
  corresponds to, while counting = signs is easy.

This patch changes all two-level titles to one-level titles in the manual.
The bulk of the change was done with the following Python script, except for
the level 1 titles (-----) as these underlines are also used for literal
code blocks.
This patch only changes the titles, no other changes. In
adding-packages-directory.txt, I did add missing newlines between some
titles and their content.

    new = s
    new = replace_title(new, '=', '=')
    new = replace_title(new, '+', '=====')
    new = replace_title(new, '^', '====')
    new = replace_title(new, '~', '===')
    #new = replace_title(new, '-', '==')

    s.seek(0)
    s.write(new)
    s.resize(s.tell())
    s.close()
    f.close()
