9776b9cc70 doc/manual: fix generating manual after legacy overhaul
Commit 53903a15 (*config: improve handling of BR2_LEGACY) added an
option to entirely skip legacy entries, by passing a variable in the
environment.

However, it missed one location where that variable is also needed,
which is generating the list of packages and deprecated features for
inclusion in the manual.

Fix that by re-using the global $(COMMON_CONFIG_ENV) variable,
overriding just what we don't want (i.e. br2-external location and
defconfig path).

Also, slightly re-order variables so the ones we override come right
after the common settings, moving the specific ones at the end, one
variable per line.

a5fd21d2e5 docs/manual: update documentation about applying patches
The Buildroot manual is currently wrong when describing how patches
are applied: it says that <packagename>-*.patch is applied, and that
<packagename>-<seq>-*.patch is the recommended name for patches. This
is incorrect, since we're now using just <seq>-*.patch. This commit
adjusts the documentation accordingly.

As discussed in the FOSDEM2015 BR developer meeting, the output of
'make help' is too long for comfortable reading. To shorten it, split

Declare the new target as phony.

Add 'list-defconfigs' to the documentation.

3275315432 support/download: always fail when there's no hash
At the time we introduced hashes, we did not want to be too harsh in the
beginning, and give people some time to adapt and accept the hashes. So
we so far only whined^Wwarned about a missing hash (when the .hash file
exists).

Some time has passed now, and people are still missing updating hashes
when bumping packages.

Let's make that warning a little bit more annoying...

1ba85b7f87 support/download: add explicit no-hash support
Add support to explicitly state that an archive has no hash.

This can be used for archives downloaded from a repository, like a
git-clone or a subversion checkout, or using the github helper.

This will come in handy when we'll eventually make hashes mandatory as
soon as a .hash file exists: for some packages, like gcc, some versions
are downloaded as archives from upstream, while other versions may come
from a GitHub repository (via the github herlper).

In this case, a .hash file would exist, that contains hashes for the
downloaded tarballs, but archives downloaded from the repository would
not have a hash (since it is currently not possible to have reproducible
such archives). So, we'd need a way to explicitly state there is no
hash, on purpose, for those archives.

So, add 'none' as a new type of hash.

46ebdc8959 docs/manual: update documentation about <pkg>_SOURCE, <pkg>_PATCH and <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS
This commit updates the Buildroot manual for the variables used to
indicate where to download the source code from:

 - It updates the description of <pkg>_SOURCE to make it clear that
   Buildroot assume that the tarball is hosted at <pkg>_SITE.

 - It updates the description of <pkg>_PATCH to indicate that not only
   file names (assumed to be hosted at <pkg>_SITE) can be used, but
   also full URLs. This allows to match with what the current code is
   doing.

 - It updates the description of <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS to also
   indicate that full URLs are now accepted, following the change made
   in the previous commit.

This allows us to have the website now officially in docs/website, while
still keep backward compatibility with the current scripts that update

move the website to docs/website/ for good.

All without any perceived downtime or missed updated on the website! :-)

665e13c85e Rename BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS
Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.

As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.

This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.

Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.
