A lot of people complain that the root filesystem generated by
Buildroot doesn't work because it lacks the device files. This is
because they use output/target/ instead of one of the images.
Therefore, insist in the documentation on this point. Even though I'm
unsure if users really read the documentation :-)

Invert the BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_HIDE_OTHERS option to use positive logic,
renaming it to _SHOW_OTHERS.
Positive logic is simpler to understand, and it makes all{,package}config
do the right thing.

As discussed earlier on the mailing list. It simplifies code, gives more
sensible error message on typos and makes the defconfigs easier to find
for users.
Furthermore, update documentation to match.

* Remove the huge section describing the design of the removed
"project" feature
* Update all references to the output directory hierarchy to match
the new one
* Add new sections on how to rebuild single packages and how to
create board support
* Other updates, clarifications, reorganizations

* Add the section describing the project feature to the table of
contents
* Change the formatting of titles in the section on the project
feature
* Mention that the section on project feature is obsolete since the
feature has now been implemented
* Remove the duplication about two different sections documenting
basically the same thing : how to use the Buildroot toolchain.
The host versions shouldn't be visible in Kconfig, so remove the
reference to BR2_PACKAGE_PKGCONFIG everywhere and prefix the host targets
with host-.
At the same time add pkgconfig for the target (E.G. for development) and
let BR2_PACKAGE_PKGCONFIG control that package.
Notice: all defconfigs in the tree have been updated, but make sure to
disable the pkgconfig package (unless you want it) if you use an external
config, otherwise you'll end up with pkgconfig and glib2 in the target.
