The Buildroot kexec package is available when an unsupported target
architecture is selected, leading to autobuild failures like the following.
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/e706b08abb4fd1987fc4aa970d6be50fc92dc1fa/build-end.log
This patch makes the kexec package available only for the supported
architectures.

Remove an lcdproc patch which has been rejected upstream. It has been
decided by lcdproc developer Markus Dolze that the behaviour of the
client_add_key command when handling the minus key is "intentional to
some degree."
This patch also takes the opportunity to remove the version number from the
single remaining lcdproc patch.

The lcdproc version bump to 0.5.6 has resulted in autobuilder failures such as
the following.
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/9967bc20a6094e836c4c18ff2cd30edef143bb8e/build-end.log
The 0.5.6 release added a new glcd driver, which requires the freetype and zlib
libraries. This patch makes the lcdproc package depend on freetype and zlib.

Consider the second chapter: "starting-up", as a tutorial.
Assuming that, using.txt only contains the very first commands used to get
configure and build its very first target system.
So, the following subsection from using.txt have been to common-usage.txt:
- Offline builds
- Building out-of-tree
- Environment variables

The new skeleton of the manual as it has been thought:
1. About Buildroot:
Presentation of Buildroot
2. Starting up:
Everything to quickly and easily start working with Buildroot
3. Working with Buildroot
Basics to make your work fitting your needs
4. Troubleshooting
5. Going further in Buildroot's innards
Explaination of how buildroot is organised, how it works, etc
6. Developer Guidelines
7. Getting involved
8. Contibuting to Buildroot
9. Legal notice
10. Appendix
It is easy to distinguish two parts in this plan:
- Sections 1 to 4 mainly address people starting with Buildroot
- Sections 5 to 10 are more focused on how to develop Buildroot itself
Most of the existing sections have just been moved in the hierarchy,
few were split and dispatch in, what i think was the relevant section,
and numerous others have been created.

Fixing linking time error with certain toolchains. The issue caused by a missing explicit linking to
libpthread. The failed buildlog:

We need more recent versions of config.guess and config.sub in order
to support the aarch64 architecture. Otherwise, all autoconf packages
fail to build with failures like:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/abcdbe1aaf1c203c82dc3e4ec8c002b9b9e550e0/build-end.log
We take this opportunity to turn the config.* patches into proper Git
patches, and note which Git commit of the config.git repository we
used as the original source.
