Since <package>-rebuild implies <package>-reinstall and
<package>-reconfigure implies <package>-rebuild, it is confusing
to mention the make and make <package> commands when describing
the restart of the configuration, compilation and installation of
the package.
Therefore remove the ", followed by +make+ or +make <package>+"
portions in the "8.3. Understanding how to rebuild packages" section,
and add a new paragraph clarifying how to include the rebuilt package
in the filesystem image, if that is necessary.

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.

There is no need to tell people that they should remove stamp files: they
should use the make <pkg>-reconfigure and make <pkg>-rebuild make targets
instead. We still keep an explanation about stamp files, just to give the
user an insight on how Buildroot works internally.

The new skeleton of the manual as it has been thought:
1. About Buildroot:
Presentation of Buildroot
2. Starting up:
Everything to quickly and easily start working with Buildroot
3. Working with Buildroot
Basics to make your work fitting your needs
4. Troubleshooting
5. Going further in Buildroot's innards
Explaination of how buildroot is organised, how it works, etc
6. Developer Guidelines
7. Getting involved
8. Contibuting to Buildroot
9. Legal notice
10. Appendix
It is easy to distinguish two parts in this plan:
- Sections 1 to 4 mainly address people starting with Buildroot
- Sections 5 to 10 are more focused on how to develop Buildroot itself
Most of the existing sections have just been moved in the hierarchy,
few were split and dispatch in, what i think was the relevant section,
and numerous others have been created.

Since these two special make targets are very useful but not yet
mentioned in the documentation I added them to the make help and
the manual.
