2359e1223f Clean up naming of old GENTARGETS infrastructure
With the renaming of XXXTARGETS to xxx-package, the names of the
pkg-xxx.mk files is inconsistent, as well as some internal names in
the documentation.  These inconsistencies are cleaned up here.

46fa5cbfb8 Rename XXXTARGETS to xxx-package
With the introduction of a specific macro for host targets, it was decided
to also make the names of the macros more intuitive: generic-package,
autotools-package and cmake-package.

c98337911c pkg-infra: add host-xxx-package macro
Create host-generic-package, host-autotools-package and
host-cmake-package macros.  Such a macro is more intuitive to use than
the $(call ...,host) construct.  Also it speeds things up by having
one less $(call ...) evaluation.

Also includes documentation update, but not for buildroot.html.

This brings the time for 'make -qp' (which is used by bash-completion)
down from 1.85s to 1.35s on my laptop.

9fd16a175b docs: rework LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD documentation
The current structure of the LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD paragraph would make
it difficult to add documentation for the "file" and "local" methods.
There are enough possible values for LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD that
describing them in a sub-list seems to work well, which makes it
easier to add documentation for new methods.

0a4856ce27 DOWNLOAD: change $1=DIRECTORY_URL, $2=FILE_NAME to $1=FULL_FILE_URL, $2=FILE_NAME
This modifies the definition of DOWNLOAD to receive two arguments:
the first one is the full URL of the file to download, whereas the second
(and optional) is the name the file will have once downloaded.

Same thing with the SOURCE_CHECK_WGET and SCP functions.

All calls to these functions have been changed to the shortest form of
the new API, except for toolchains acquisition. Since there is quite a
number of different toolchains this call to DOWNLOAD is better set to the
generic one.
