e1ee121cae docs/manual/using-buildroot-debugger: suggest '-ix' iso '-x' when loading gdbinit
A gdbinit file passed via '-x' will be read _after_ parsing any
object/core file passed on the command-line. In cross-compilation context,
this is particularly a problem when loading a core file, because without the
'sysroot' specified in the gdbinit file, it will give a lot of warnings,
like:

    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libstdc++.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/librt.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libm.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libgcc_s.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libc.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libanl.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libdl.so.2" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libpthread.so.0" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/usr/lib/libz.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libnss_files.so.2" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)

    warning: Could not load shared library symbols for 17 libraries, e.g. [...]
    Use the "info sharedlibrary" command to see the complete listing.
    Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?

In contrast, the '-ix' option will load the specified gdbinit file _before_
parsing object/core files. This will remove said warnings.

569db40574 manual: high-level restructuring
The structure of the buildroot manual is not always clear. There is a large
number of chapters, and some chapters seem to overlap. The distinction
between general usage and developer information is not always clear.

This patch restructures the manual into four large parts:
- getting started
- user guide
- developer guide
- appendix

Except for the names of these parts, the section names are not yet changed.
Content-wise there are no changes yet either. This will be handled in
subsequent patches.

In order to achieve the introduction of a new level 'parts' above
'chapters', the section indicators (=, ==, ===, ...) of several sections
have to be moved one level down. Additionally, the leveloffset indication to
asciidoc has to be removed. Finally, to maintain more or less the same level
of detail in the table of contents, the toc.section.depth attribute is
reduced as well. Note that for some sections, less detail is visible now.
