We had several remarks on the mailing list of users that were surprised
that patches were not applied for packages whose SITE_METHOD is local.
So document this.
Note that for OVERRIDE_SRCDIR itself it is already documented:
When Buildroot finds that for a given package, an
<pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR has been defined, it will no longer attempt to
download, extract and patch the package. Instead, it will directly use
the source code available in in the specified directory.

Currently, packages using target finalize hooks must remember that they
need to register their hook in TARGET_FINALIZE_HOOKS
conditionally (otherwise their hook will be triggered even if the
package is disabled).
In order to avoid this potential mistake, this commit introduces a
per-package target-finalize hook variable, in which packages can
register their target-finalize hooks, with the guarantee that they will
only be triggered if the package is enabled.

Add PRE_*_HOOKS to all the different steps through which a package may go.
This will help avoid using POST_*_HOOKS to do tasks that should be done
in the PRE_*_HOOKS of the next step.
Otherwise, when the user would do a make foo-re<step>, this would not do
what was really intented, the POST_*_HOOK of the preceding step not
being executed.

Asciidoc supports two syntaxes for section titles: two-line titles (title
plus underline consisting of a particular symbol), and one-line titles
(title prefixed with a specific number of = signs).
The two-line title underlines are:
Level 0 (top level): ======================
Level 1: ----------------------
Level 2: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 3: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Level 4 (bottom level): ++++++++++++++++++++++
and the one-line title prefixes:
= Document Title (level 0) =
== Section title (level 1) ==
=== Section title (level 2) ===
==== Section title (level 3) ====
===== Section title (level 4) =====
The buildroot manual is currenly using the two-line titles, but this has
multiple disadvantages:
- asciidoc also uses some of the underline symbols for other purposes (like
preformatted code, example blocks, ...), which makes it difficult to do
mass replacements, such as a planned follow-up patch that needs to move
all sections one level down.
- it is difficult to remember which level a given underline symbol (=-~^+)
corresponds to, while counting = signs is easy.
This patch changes all two-level titles to one-level titles in the manual.
The bulk of the change was done with the following Python script, except for
the level 1 titles (-----) as these underlines are also used for literal
code blocks.
This patch only changes the titles, no other changes. In
adding-packages-directory.txt, I did add missing newlines between some
titles and their content.

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.
