Thomas De Schampheleire 569db40574 manual: high-level restructuring
The structure of the buildroot manual is not always clear. There is a large
number of chapters, and some chapters seem to overlap. The distinction
between general usage and developer information is not always clear.

This patch restructures the manual into four large parts:
- getting started
- user guide
- developer guide
- appendix

Except for the names of these parts, the section names are not yet changed.
Content-wise there are no changes yet either. This will be handled in
subsequent patches.

In order to achieve the introduction of a new level 'parts' above
'chapters', the section indicators (=, ==, ===, ...) of several sections
have to be moved one level down. Additionally, the leveloffset indication to
asciidoc has to be removed. Finally, to maintain more or less the same level
of detail in the table of contents, the toc.section.depth attribute is
reduced as well. Note that for some sections, less detail is visible now.

== Known issues
* It is not possible to pass extra linker options via +BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS+
if such options contain a +$+ sign. For example, the following is known
to break: +BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath=\'$ORIGIN/../lib'"+
* The +ltp-testsuite+ package does not build with the default uClibc
configuration used by the Buildroot toolchain backend. The LTP
testsuite uses several functions that are considered obsolete, such
as sigset() and others. uClibc configuration options such as
DO_XSI_MATH, UCLIBC_HAS_OBSOLETE_BSD_SIGNAL and
UCLIBC_SV4_DEPRECATED are needed if one wants to build the
+ltp-testsuite+ package with uClibc. You need to either use a glibc
or eglibc based toolchain, or enable the appropriate options in the
uClibc configuration.
* The +xfsprogs+ package does not build with the default uClibc
configuration used by the Buildroot toolchain backend. You need to
either use a glibc or eglibc based toolchain, or enable the
appropriate options in the uClibc configuration.
* The +mrouted+ package does not build with the default uClibc
configuration used by the Buildroot toolchain backend. You need to
either use a glibc or eglibc based toolchain, or enable the
appropriate options in the uClibc configuration.
* The +libffi+ package is not supported on the SuperH 2 and ARC
architectures.
* The +prboom+ package triggers a compiler failure with the SuperH 4
compiler from Sourcery CodeBench, version 2012.09.
