The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

The current DocType declaration was incorrect. It is neither xhtml strict nor
xhtml transitional. So, instead of dealing with that issue, converted it to
validated Html5.
Fixed white-space errors.
Removed validator html4.01 code.
Color corrected the code sections.
Removed redundant or useless html code.
Changed foo to libfoo, for consistency.
Changed page bookmarking to use header id's.
Re-flowed paragraphs to line break at 80 characters.
Re-formatted the code sections for consistency and correctness.
Kept all list items, headings, and href's on a single line (where possible).

- We have gconfig as well nowadays
- Variables like BUILDROOT_DL_DIR can also be set permanently in the
environment, and not just passed to make every time.

Remove alpha channel and limit number of colors used. This gets the images
down to ~37% of their previous size without any visual degrading (in fact
it now looks correctly on ancient IE versions with broken png alpha
handling).

Document the new generic package infrastructure, and how target/host
packages are handled, both for the generic package infrastructure and
the autotools package infrastructure.
This documentation replaces the documentation that used to be present
at the top of Makefile.autotools.in. Both tutorial and reference
documentation are provided.
