While describing a package I though that the tab and 2 spaces was
already doing the margin for wrapping the help test (ie 70 char when
wrapping to 80) but apparently the full text need to fit 72 columns.
So this patch propose to document that fact in the two places where
the Config.in format is described.

The following allows a user definition to specify that a created user
entry should not have a password value set. Original implementation
allowed a user definition to provide a password value of "=" (no quotes)
to generate a crypt-encoded empty string value. In some cases, it may be
desired to have no value specified for a user's password. By using a
value "-" for a password, no value will be set in the shadow value.
An example when this can be used is when logging into a terminal.
Logging into a session with an encoded empty password will prompt a user
to enter a password since it does not know the password is empty. If the
password field blank, a login session will not prompt for a password.

Adds functionality to the kconfig infrastructure to merge additional
configuration fragment files to the main configuration file of
kconfig packages, using support/kconfig/merge_config.sh
Typical use-case is when you want your configuration to be
kept in sync with an upstream (def)config file, but do require
some minor local modifications.
Disables -update-config and -update-defconfig targets when
fragment files are set.

- Add @ before the tests done in the $(1)-update-config and

Commit 53903a15 (*config: improve handling of BR2_LEGACY) added an
option to entirely skip legacy entries, by passing a variable in the
environment.
However, it missed one location where that variable is also needed,
which is generating the list of packages and deprecated features for
inclusion in the manual.
Fix that by re-using the global $(COMMON_CONFIG_ENV) variable,
overriding just what we don't want (i.e. br2-external location and
defconfig path).
Also, slightly re-order variables so the ones we override come right
after the common settings, moving the specific ones at the end, one
variable per line.

At the time we introduced hashes, we did not want to be too harsh in the
beginning, and give people some time to adapt and accept the hashes. So
we so far only whined^Wwarned about a missing hash (when the .hash file
exists).
Some time has passed now, and people are still missing updating hashes
when bumping packages.
Let's make that warning a little bit more annoying...

Add support to explicitly state that an archive has no hash.
This can be used for archives downloaded from a repository, like a
git-clone or a subversion checkout, or using the github helper.
This will come in handy when we'll eventually make hashes mandatory as
soon as a .hash file exists: for some packages, like gcc, some versions
are downloaded as archives from upstream, while other versions may come
from a GitHub repository (via the github herlper).
In this case, a .hash file would exist, that contains hashes for the
downloaded tarballs, but archives downloaded from the repository would
not have a hash (since it is currently not possible to have reproducible
such archives). So, we'd need a way to explicitly state there is no
hash, on purpose, for those archives.
So, add 'none' as a new type of hash.

- It updates the description of <pkg>_SOURCE to make it clear that
Buildroot assume that the tarball is hosted at <pkg>_SITE.
- It updates the description of <pkg>_PATCH to indicate that not only
file names (assumed to be hosted at <pkg>_SITE) can be used, but
also full URLs. This allows to match with what the current code is
doing.
- It updates the description of <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS to also
indicate that full URLs are now accepted, following the change made
