As suggested by Thomas: the AsciiDoc options we use ensure we get a sane
output of the document. We want that configuration to be applied to
other documents as well.
Up until now, it was implicit that the configuration was applied to
our manual, becasue we only supported document-specific configuration,
and the configuration we had was in our manual dir, so we got to use it.
But now, we can render other documents, especially ones from
br2-external, and we want those to also use the default configuration
from Buildroot, but still be able to provide their own customisation.
So, always add Buildroot's configuration first, if available, before we
append the document's configuration.

Currently, it is not possible to use $(@D) in documents' hooks, because
there is no actual target file for the copying rule.
So, use the same mechanism as for generic-package.
We do not touch the target file, so it is easy to regenerate the manual
without calling the -clean rule first.

Move the GENDOC infra to its own file, so it is even less tied to our
manual document, so that it is more obvious that GENDOC is an infra like
our packages infras, and 'manual' is a document like we have packages.
Ideally, this new file should better go in docs/ rather than in package/ .
However, docs/ is already full of our website stuff, so adding it in
there would just serve to clutter the website.
So, let's just put alongside the other infrastructures, in package/ .

Our manual does not use external filters in asciidoc, so we are happy
with just looking for resources from our source tree.
However, other documents (like ones in br2-external) may use such
filters, to generate diagrams, graphs...
External filters generate their output files in the output directory, so
we must also look for resources in there.
Note: external filters in asccidoc are used thus:
["filter-name"]
----
Text to be rendered
----
In the future, our own manual may even make use of filters to include
some of the graphs we generate, to store in the documentation.

Allow documents to define two hooks:
- DOC_CHECK_EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES_HOOKS
to check for extra dependencies required by this document
- DOC_CHECK_EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES_FMT_HOOKS
ditto, but for the specific format
- DOC_POST_EXTRACT_HOOKS:
to run additional actions to fill-in the build directory
(Replace 'DOC' with the uppercase name of the document, and 'FMT' with
the format.)
This is supposed to replace the current use of overloading the internal
dependency rules, and makes GENDOC behave yet a bit more like the
package infrastructure.
Note that GENDOC_INNER already has the uppercase name as an argument,
whereas GENDOC does not, so the two foreach loops are not exactly
similar (for now.)

GENDOC_INNER still has one hard-coded path to the document's directory:
the asciidoc .conf files.
Add a new argument to GENDOC_INNER to pass the directory of the
document.
Notes:
- this makes for overly-long lines, but splitting is not possible,
otherwise the first argument on the continuation line would get (at
least) a leading space or tab, and that would break either or all of
the variables names, the dependency rules, or the filenames we look
for. A future patch will further clean this up (see: docs/asciidoc: call
$(pkgname) and $(pkgdir) in a single place.)
- this means that another document would be missing our tweaks from
asciidoc-text.conf to not render images and sanely render hyperlinks.
But that was already the case anyway, since we were using docs/$(1)/ to
search for that file. A further patch will allow us to have such
configuration in a common place.

Currently, GENDOC_INNER hard-codes some variables to have the name of the
document in them:
MANUAL_$(2)_ASCIIDOC_CONF
MANUAL_$(2)_ASCIIDOC_OPTS
MANUAL_$(2)_A2X_OPTS
MANUAL_$(2)_INSTALL_CMDS
...
Also, it defines some dependency on the generation rule, onto:
manual-check-dependencies
manual-check-dependencies-$(3)
manual-prepare-sources
This is problematic, as it is not possible to have another document
generated with the GENDOC infra, or it would trigger the rules, and use
the variables for our own document, 'manual'.
Add a new argument to GENDOC_INNER to be the uppercase name of the
document, much like it is done for the PKG_*_INNER functions. Replace
any reference to 'manual' with the currently passed named of the current
document, $(1).
The remaining references to 'manual' are on purpose, as they really
pertain to our manual.

The PDF manual generation reaches the default xsltproc's template
recursion limit when processing the target package list; this makes the
PDF manual generation fail [1-3].
This limit can be raised with the '--maxvars' option. Unfortunately,
this option is not correctly handled in the latest xsltproc/libxslt
release (1.1.28), but this bug is already fixed in the libxslt
repository [4].
This patch disables the PDF manual generation (makes it warn with a
meaningful error message) when the xsltproc program found in the PATH
does not support the --maxvars option.
So, one can still generate the PDF manual if he/she extends PATH with
the location of a working xsltproc, by running:
$ PATH=/path/to/custom-xsltproc/bin:${PATH} make manual-pdf

This patch reworks the manual source preparation by:
- moving the build directory under $(BUILD_DIR)/, this keeps consistency
with the other Buildroot infrastructures;
- adding a couple of targets: 'manual-rsync' and 'manual-prepare-sources',
to deal more efficiently with the manual sources and avoid rsync-ing
them on every single manual-* target.
The 'manual-rsync' target only copies the manual sources under git, while
the 'manual-prepare-sources' also takes care of the generated ones. These
targets are now run only once, and the manual build is no longer cleaned
after each manual format generation.
Now, the 'manual-clean' target only remove the manual build directory, but
keeps the output one $(O)/output/doc/manual unchanged.
Doing so (moving the manual build directory and keeping it between 2
manual format generation) ensures that all generated sources are taken
in account when generating the manual [1].

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.

This patch re-orders the enumeration of typical project customization
actions:
- move the 'patching packages' section downwards.
- group the entries on post-build scripts and rootfs-overlays to match the
actual section text.
Since indented enumerations use asterixes, update the top-level entries with
asterixes too for consistency.

This patch promotes the sections on Buildroot configuration and the
configuration of other components to top-level sections, to match the
overview in the introduction of the chapter. The introduction of the
original section is removed as it does not bring additional info anymore.
Some rewording is done as well.

This patch moves the section 'Basics for storing the configuration' to a
separate file and upwards in the manual section order, to line up with the
listing of customization actions in the introduction of the chapter. The
text itself is currently unchanged, this will be handled in the next patch.

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.

This patch reworks the section on root filesystem customization as follows:
- use labeled list instead of bulleted list to clarify the different methods
- move rootfs overlay and post-build scripts to the top and label them as
recommended.
- split post-image to a separate section, as it is not related to the target
filesystem customization
- line up post-build and post-image explanations, for example regarding
working directory of the script
- general expansion of some of the explanation
- general rewording
