Recently, the autoconf macros for libtool started using '/usr/bin/file'
to determine the type of library that is generated by the toolchain.
Packages that use this recent version of the libtool autoconf macros
will fail in a rather dramatic way when /usr/bin/file is not present
on the host: the package will still build but no shared library is
generated, which in turn may cause build failures in other packages
that link with it.
For example, libpng's configure determines that it is not possible to
build a shared library on MIPS64 because the expected output from 'file'
is not present. Therefore, only a static libpng.a is built. Later,
bandwithd links with -lpng but it doesn't use the pkg-config's
Private-Libs (because it's not linking statically) and it doesn't have
access to the NEEDED reference from the shared library. Therefore, it
doesn't link with zlib and fails with
pngrutil.c:(.text+0x55c): undefined reference to `inflate'
We cant use host-file because it is itself an autotools package and is
itself using libtool, so this would be a chicken-n-egg problem. Besides,
the libtool script really wants to call /usr/bin/file, so it would not
even find our host-file anyway.
So, just require that '/usr/bin/file' is present on the host.

The BR2_EXTERNAL documentation improperly tells to use the
BR2_EXTERNAL_<name>_DIR variable to reference the location of the
BR2_EXTERNAL directory. But in fact the variable is named
BR2_EXTERNAL_<name>_PATH.
In addition, some closing double quotes were missing.
This commit fixes both of those issues.

While BR2_EXTERNAL_<NAME>_PATH was already documented, it was not
made obvious that it could be reused in post-biuld, post-image and
in-fakeroot scripts.
The BR2_EXTERNAL_<NAME>_DESC variable was not documented at all.
Update the manual to fix this.
Note: a2x chokes on this:
.Note:
Both +BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_PATH+ and +BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_DESC+ are
available [...]
and spits out a totally useless error message:
a2x: ERROR: "xsltproc" --stringparam toc.section.depth 1 --stringparam
callout.graphics 0 --stringparam navig.graphics 0 --stringparam
admon.textlabel 1 --stringparam admon.graphic 0 --stringparam

non-zero exit status 6
So, we had to resort to using different quoting styles for each
variables. They are not semantically equivalent, but the rendering
is the same with the default CSS (which we are using). That's gonna
be good-enough for now...

Currently, it is not possible for a br2-external tree to override a
defconfig bundled in Buildroot, nor is it possible to override one from
a previous br2-external tree in the stack.
However, it is interesting that a latter br2-external tree be able to
override a defconfig:
- the ones bundled in Buildroot are minimalist, and almost always
build a toolchain, so a br2-external tree may want to provide a
"better" defconfig (better, in the sense "suited for the project");
- similarly for a defconfig from a previous br2-external tree.
But we can't do that, as the rules for the defconfigs are generated in
the order the br2-external trees are specified, all after the bundled
defconfigs. Those rule are patten-matching rules, which means that the
first one to match is used, and the following ones are ignored.
Add a new utility macro, 'reverse', inspired from GMSL, that does what
it says: reverse a list of words.
Use that macro to reverse the list of br2-external trees, so that the
latters win over the formers, and even over bundled ones.

Update the manual with the new external.desc mandatory file.
Take the opportunity to add a section listing all mandatory files,
Config.in, external.mk and the new external.desc, instead of just
hinting about them in the external package recipes section.
Change the examples to use the NAME-suffixed variable instead of the
raw BR2_EXTERNAL variable.
Change all references to BR2_EXTERNAL elsewhere in the manual to now
use the 'br2-external tree' terminology.

We currently have four lists of packages in the manual:
- the non-virtual target packages,
- the virtual target packages,
- the host packages,
- the deprecated features.
Those list take more than half of the manual. They do not serve much
purpose except to show off.
After the recent discussion on the list [0], remove them all.
We can now get rid of our biggish and complex generating script (and its
companion library kconfiglib).

Currently, a document can not have dependencies, except for the purely
internal ones (like checking asciidoc version, and presence of dblatex).
For our own manual, this will come in handy when we introduce a
generated kconfig snippet, so we can actually make the manual depend on
that snippet being generated first.
For external documents, it can be used to depend on host-packages if
need be (e.g. a custom host packages that generates specific media files
included in the manual).
