f42a580a89 Makefile: split off 'list-defconfigs' from 'help'
As discussed in the FOSDEM2015 BR developer meeting, the output of
'make help' is too long for comfortable reading. To shorten it, split
off the list of defconfigs in a new target, 'list-defconfigs'.

Declare the new target as phony.

Add 'list-defconfigs' to the documentation.

47c1c50134 manual/user guide: move tip on configuration searches
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.

77007ad950 manual/user guide: high-level restructuring
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.

86a415df8a manual: use one-line titles instead of two-line titles (trivial)
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.

6fb84874b2 manual generation: check dependencies first
To generate the manual, you need a few tools. If these are not present,
pretty cryptic error messages are given.
This patch adds a simple check for these dependencies, before attempting to
build the manual.
