Sometimes new boards have not been tested with official docker so let's add
instructions to do it with utils/docker-run.

af6cffb64e manual: board support: add more of our expectations
The manual has a section on adding board support to upstream buildroot,
but it fails to mention some of the things we expect. Add more of them.

- Internal toolchain.
- Beautify defconfig file.
- Fixed versions for components.

[yann.morin.1998@free.fr:
  - use +monospace+ for the variables
  - use _italic_ for sections in defconfig

eae2347831 manual: move 'Creating your own board support' from User to Developer guide
Section 'Creating your own board support' is seemingly written in the
mindset of adding support for public boards. Therefore, it is more suited in
the Developer guide, rather than in the User guide.
Adding support for custom non-public boards falls under the
'Project-specific customizations' category and will be described in that
section.

This patch moves the unchanged text into a separate file, included from the
Developer guide. The next patch will make some minor changes to the text
itself.
