The following allows a user definition to specify that a created user
entry should not have a password value set. Original implementation
allowed a user definition to provide a password value of "=" (no quotes)
to generate a crypt-encoded empty string value. In some cases, it may be
desired to have no value specified for a user's password. By using a
value "-" for a password, no value will be set in the shadow value.
An example when this can be used is when logging into a terminal.
Logging into a session with an encoded empty password will prompt a user
to enter a password since it does not know the password is empty. If the
password field blank, a login session will not prompt for a password.

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.

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.

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.

As suggested by Thomas: the AsciiDoc options we use ensure we get a sane
output of the document. We want that configuration to be applied to
other documents as well.
Up until now, it was implicit that the configuration was applied to
our manual, becasue we only supported document-specific configuration,
and the configuration we had was in our manual dir, so we got to use it.
But now, we can render other documents, especially ones from
br2-external, and we want those to also use the default configuration
from Buildroot, but still be able to provide their own customisation.
So, always add Buildroot's configuration first, if available, before we
append the document's configuration.

Our manual does not use external filters in asciidoc, so we are happy
with just looking for resources from our source tree.
However, other documents (like ones in br2-external) may use such
filters, to generate diagrams, graphs...
External filters generate their output files in the output directory, so
we must also look for resources in there.
Note: external filters in asccidoc are used thus:
["filter-name"]

In the future, our own manual may even make use of filters to include

Allow documents to define two hooks:
- DOC_CHECK_EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES_HOOKS
to check for extra dependencies required by this document
- DOC_CHECK_EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES_FMT_HOOKS
ditto, but for the specific format
- DOC_POST_EXTRACT_HOOKS:
to run additional actions to fill-in the build directory
(Replace 'DOC' with the uppercase name of the document, and 'FMT' with
the format.)
This is supposed to replace the current use of overloading the internal
dependency rules, and makes GENDOC behave yet a bit more like the
package infrastructure.
Note that GENDOC_INNER already has the uppercase name as an argument,
whereas GENDOC does not, so the two foreach loops are not exactly
similar (for now.)

Those rules are generic, and not specific to our manual, we want them
always called:
- manual-check-dependencies
- manual-check-dependencies-pdf
So, rename them to be generic to gendoc.
Cascade the document's dependency checking to call those rules, too.

GENDOC_INNER still has one hard-coded path to the document's directory:
the asciidoc .conf files.
Add a new argument to GENDOC_INNER to pass the directory of the
document.
Notes:
- this makes for overly-long lines, but splitting is not possible,
otherwise the first argument on the continuation line would get (at
least) a leading space or tab, and that would break either or all of
the variables names, the dependency rules, or the filenames we look
for. A future patch will further clean this up (see: docs/asciidoc: call
$(pkgname) and $(pkgdir) in a single place.)
- this means that another document would be missing our tweaks from
asciidoc-text.conf to not render images and sanely render hyperlinks.
But that was already the case anyway, since we were using docs/$(1)/ to
search for that file. A further patch will allow us to have such
configuration in a common place.

Currently, GENDOC_INNER hard-codes some variables to have the name of the
document in them:
MANUAL_$(2)_ASCIIDOC_CONF
MANUAL_$(2)_ASCIIDOC_OPTS
MANUAL_$(2)_A2X_OPTS
MANUAL_$(2)_INSTALL_CMDS
...
Also, it defines some dependency on the generation rule, onto:
manual-check-dependencies
manual-check-dependencies-$(3)
manual-prepare-sources
This is problematic, as it is not possible to have another document
generated with the GENDOC infra, or it would trigger the rules, and use
the variables for our own document, 'manual'.
Add a new argument to GENDOC_INNER to be the uppercase name of the
document, much like it is done for the PKG_*_INNER functions. Replace
any reference to 'manual' with the currently passed named of the current
document, $(1).
The remaining references to 'manual' are on purpose, as they really
pertain to our manual.

The PDF manual generation reaches the default xsltproc's template
recursion limit when processing the target package list; this makes the
PDF manual generation fail [1-3].
This limit can be raised with the '--maxvars' option. Unfortunately,
this option is not correctly handled in the latest xsltproc/libxslt
release (1.1.28), but this bug is already fixed in the libxslt
repository [4].
This patch disables the PDF manual generation (makes it warn with a
meaningful error message) when the xsltproc program found in the PATH
does not support the --maxvars option.
So, one can still generate the PDF manual if he/she extends PATH with
the location of a working xsltproc, by running:
$ PATH=/path/to/custom-xsltproc/bin:${PATH} make manual-pdf

This patch reworks the manual source preparation by:
- moving the build directory under $(BUILD_DIR)/, this keeps consistency
with the other Buildroot infrastructures;
- adding a couple of targets: 'manual-rsync' and 'manual-prepare-sources',
to deal more efficiently with the manual sources and avoid rsync-ing
them on every single manual-* target.
The 'manual-rsync' target only copies the manual sources under git, while
the 'manual-prepare-sources' also takes care of the generated ones. These
targets are now run only once, and the manual build is no longer cleaned
after each manual format generation.
Now, the 'manual-clean' target only remove the manual build directory, but
keeps the output one $(O)/output/doc/manual unchanged.
Doing so (moving the manual build directory and keeping it between 2
manual format generation) ensures that all generated sources are taken
in account when generating the manual [1].

While the autotools infrastructure was using FOO_MAKE_OPT, generic packages
were typically using FOO_MAKE_OPTS. This inconsistency becomes a problem
when a new infrastructure is introduced that wants to make use of
FOO_MAKE_OPT(S), and can live alongside either generic-package or
autotools-package. The new infrastructure will have to choose between either
OPT or OPTS, and thus rule out transparent usage by respectively generic
packages or generic packages. An example of such an infrastructure is
kconfig-package, which provides kconfig-related make targets.
The OPTS variant is more logical, as there are typically multiple options.
This patch renames all occurrences of FOO_MAKE_OPT in FOO_MAKE_OPTS.

This patch moves the tip on searching in the configuration editors into the
section 'Buildroot configuration', which is more logical.
The wording of that section is slightly adapted to fit this new part.

This patch performs some additional restructuring of the manual,
specifically in the User Guide. In detail:
- Rename 'Daily use' to 'General Buildroot usage'
- Move chapters 'make tips', 'Eclipse integration', and 'Advanced usage' as
sections under the 'General Buildroot usage' chapter.
- Rename 'Details on Buildroot configuration' into 'Buildroot configuration'
- Rework the 'Customization' section as follows:
- Move the short section on debugging the external toolchain wrapper into
the rest of the explanation on external toolchains.
- Remove the now redundant section on toolchains, as this is already
explained in much more detail in the 'Buildroot configuration' chapter.
- Move the sections on busybox/uclibc/kernel configuration from chapter
'Customization' into a separate chapter 'Configuration of other
components'.
- Rename the remaining part of the original 'Customization' chapter into
'Project-specific customization' and fold it together with the next
chapter 'Storing the configuration'
- Remove the chapter 'Going further in Buildroot innards' thanks to:
- Moving the chapter 'How Buildroot works' to the Developer guide.
- Moving the 'Advanced Buildroot usage' section to the 'General Buildroot
usage' chapter.
- Remove the chapter 'Hacking Buildroot' by:
- Adding a reference to adding packages to the 'Project-specific
customizations' chapter
- Leaving out the explicit reference to creating board support, as this is
part of the previous chapter already, so an extra reference is
redundant.

This patch renames the section 'Using Buildroot' into 'Buildroot quick
start' as real details about Buildroot usage will be in the User Guide
rather than in 'Getting Started'.
Additionally, add a cross-reference to the section about configuring
Buildroot.

This commit updates the Buildroot manual regarding how gettext related
issues are handled, now that we have cases where the gettext package
should be selected even with glibc toolchains.

This patch reworks the 'Getting Buildroot' section of the manual as follows:
- be more specific on the Buildroot release cycle
- refer to the download page of the website for details on snapshots and
git, instead of duplicating the information.
