c3a832a7fb manual: add section about depending on target and toolchain options
Currently, the comments in Config.in files when depending on toolchain
options are not at all lined up.  This patch adds a section to the
documentation that explains which format is to be used.

Reuse part of board-support.txt, and remove that one because it
was unused.

722b82f05b manual: restructure 'Adding packages' chapter
The depends-on-vs-select part of the manual really deserves its own
section title (especially because it is referred to and the xref gets
a 'sinpara' in PDF if the section doesn't have a title). So restructure
the surrounding sections to reduce the section nesting depth.

5e84b8b73c manual: rework the whole documentation stub
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.

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.
