Split out the information on hooks to a separate section (and source file).
Not only because the hooks are useful for all infrastructures (and thus
don't really fit specifically in the generic infrastructure section), but
also for clarity when the info on hooks will be expanded in later patches.

One of the use cases is for the 'local packages' to restore
the SCM info. Some packages use this information to generate
version info during build time. In this case, the local package
can have this hook to restore it by symbolic link for example.

Converting the external toolchain logic into a package raises a very
special use case that wasn't handled by the package infrastructure:
the Blackfin toolchain is delivered as two tarballs instead of
one. Unfortunately <pkg>_SOURCE only allows to pass one tarball name.
However, we really want both tarballs to be known by the package
infrastructure, so that the normal 'source' and 'external-deps'
mechanism work fine.
In order to achieve this, we add a <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS variable,
which allows a package to list other stuff it would like to see
downloaded, but that are otherwise not used by the package
infrastructure itself: it is up to the package to do it by itself.

In case there are many arguments passed to the tools, the command line
can get very long, and difficult to parse visually.
For example, the Linux kernel passes a lot of arguments to gcc (at least
45, which gives 53 with our hard-coded args). Looking at such a command
line is daunting.
So, add the possibility to print each argument on its own line.
Also, enclose all args between single quotes, so the command line
can be safely copy-pasted without special chars (spaces, $) being
inrerpreted by the shell.
Add blurb about toolchain-wrapper to documentation at the same
time.
