0518a98ac3 packages: rename FOO_MAKE_OPT into FOO_MAKE_OPTS
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.

a0e0bdcd88 docs/manual: add musl to toolchain dependency options
Currently, we only document (e)glibc and uClibc as C libraries on which
we can depend. However, we've supported musl for quite some time now.

So, also refference it in the manual, when dealing with toolchain
options a package may have to depend on.

a373ad0256 manual/user guide/customization: change recommendation for package paths
The Buildroot manual was recommending following paths for project-specific
packages:
    package/<company>/<boardname>/foo/
    $BR2_EXTERNAL/package/<boardname>/foo/

However, if a company has several boards, it is often the case that some
packages are common for different boards. Therefore, introducing a
<boardname> path component is not ideal.

This patch changes the recommendation to:
    package/<company>/foo/
    $BR2_EXTERNAL/package/foo/

eae2347831 manual: move 'Creating your own board support' from User to Developer guide
Section 'Creating your own board support' is seemingly written in the
mindset of adding support for public boards. Therefore, it is more suited in
the Developer guide, rather than in the User guide.
Adding support for custom non-public boards falls under the
'Project-specific customizations' category and will be described in that
section.

This patch moves the unchanged text into a separate file, included from the
Developer guide. The next patch will make some minor changes to the text
itself.

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.

afdd5cebe2 manual/getting started: rework 'Getting Buildroot' section
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.

3dde85015d website/download: update daily snapshot section
This patch makes some minor changes to the download page of the website:
- don't capitalize Daily Snapshots as there is no reason to.
- remove extra link to daily snapshots, as this link is already available on
  the line below.
- add a link to the latest snapshot
- avoid 'Click here', especially if 'here' is not clickable

713134fc92 manual/getting started: rework 'Community resources' section
This patch reworks the section 'Community resources' as follows:
- use a labeled list instead of subsections, as the content of each section
  is so small that it does not deserve a real section.
  Related to this, the anchors for each of these subsections are removed, as
  referencing such anchors that do not correspond to a section boundary are
  not displayed nicely.
- move the part about applying patches from patchwork to the Contributing
  section in the Developer Guide
- reword some parts of the text
- add link texts to some links, instead of showing the URL directly, to make
  the HTML / PDF display nicer.

5712140af4 manual/getting started: rename and move 'Getting involved' section
The Getting Involved section is actually an overview of the ways to interact
with the Buildroot community, which is useful for developers _and_ users.
Therefore, this patch moves the section from the Developer Guide to the
Getting Started section, and renames it to 'Community Resources'.

429489c632 manual: remove 'Events' section
The list of buildroot events is outdated, a sign that the manual is not the
best place to refer to timely things like events. The wiki page is better
suited for such information.
