dd66a2f0b1 manual: add _TARGET_FINALIZE_HOOKS in the list of hooks
While reading the docs to find hooks, I completely missed the
LIBFOO_TARGET_FINALIZE_HOOKS one which was actually matching my
use-case.

Though it is documented in a subsection a few lines below, let's also
have it in the list of supported hooks so it's not hidden away.

8b51205638 docs/manual/makeusers-syntax.txt: add caveat for upgrading
With the change of the range of UIDs that is generated from the
automatic ID (-1), it became apparent that there is a potential problem
with these automatic IDs when upgrading: they may have changed, which
means that persistent files that exist outside of the rootfs suddenly
have a different owner.

Add a caveat section to the manual, as well as an explanation of how to
work around the problem.

6b59ed35a2 package/pkg-cargo: allow building in a sub-directory
Some packages have their rust sources as a sub-directory, rather
than at the root of the source tree.

Do like we do for autotools-package, and use the package's _SRCDIR
rather than the top-level directory $(@D).

Additionally, in such a situation, it is more than probable that
the Cargo.toml is also present in that sub-directory, so use that
when vendoring the package.

efcb7eeabc docs: fix links to AsciiDoc
Links were aimed at the methods.co.nz domain, which is now returning
404s. The current situation of AsciiDoc is unclear to me: the Fedora
package points to this website, they own asciidoc.org, Wikipedia points
to this project as well but their Git repo's README includes the
following paragraph:

> AsciiDoc.py is a legacy processor for this syntax, handling an older
> rendition of AsciiDoc. As such, this will not properly handle the
> current AsciiDoc specification. It is suggested that unless you
> specifically require the AsciiDoc.py toolchain, you should find a
> processor that handles the modern AsciiDoc syntax.

4f59ababc0 package/doc-asciidoc: fix build for out-of-tree documents
The doc-asciidoc infra allows document to define sources and resources,
and those can only be local (there is no download support for documents).
The currently documented way to specify those is to use the $(pkgdir)
macro to point to the document sources and resources when they are along
the .mk.

However, this works only for sources and not for resources.

Indeed, sources are used to generate Makefile dependency rules, so
$(pkgdir) is expanded and evaluated during the call to $(doc-asciidoc),
while resources are expanded and evaluated when the rules are executed,
which always happen after all the parsing has be done, at which point
$(pkgdir) expands to the last Makefile that was parsed, which is always
Buildroot's own manual.

This went unnoticed so far because Buildroot's manual is 1) the last to
be parsed, and 2) not using $(pkgdir) anyway.

Additionally, $(pkgdir) is mostly an internal macro, that is, as this
change demonstrates, difficult to use, and thus should not be used, in
packages or in documents.

We fix that by introducing $(FOO_DOCDIR), similar to $(FOO_PKGDIR),
which points to the document directory. We choose not to name the
variable FOO_PKGDIR, because it semantically is not a package.

As a consequence, the last argument to the doc-asciidoc macro is now
superfluous, so it is removed, which causes a little bit of churn in
the main macro. As a further consequence, the third argument in the
inner macro is no longer needed either, so it too is removed, which
causes a bit more churn yet in the inner macro.

41ea61d59c support/scripts/mkusers: allow option for system uid/gid
Some software decides based on uid/gid whether a user is a system or
normal (human) user, with different behaviour for those flavors (example
journald [2]).

So adding logic to create system-users is necessary, we take the now
common ranges from [1].

This extends the mkusers script to allow -2 for uid/gid, this argument
will take an identifier from the user range. All identifiers used up to
now should have been from the system range, so -1 is now interpreted as
a system user/group.

Note that after this commit, all the UIDs and GIDs that are created
automatically (with -1) will change. That means if there is peristent
data on an existing system that was created by such an automatic user,
it will suddenly belong to a different user. However, this could already
happen before: if a USERS line is added to a package, then other UIDs
may change as well.

Add system/user ranges as variables, and the argument for user/system
uid variable as well. Thus some magic constants could be removed, some
further occurences of -1 were replaced with equivalent logic. For
consistency, the existing MIN/MAX_UID/GID variables are renamed to
FIRST/LAST_USER_UID/GID.

Update the documentation with the new automatic ranges.

"Even though the ordering has absolutely no consequences in Kconfig, it
 is not logical (when reading). It is more logical and far easier to

 Also, the Config.in example in the manual suggests to use this coding
 style [2]."

5da8218184 support/download: drop support for the 'none' hash
Commit 1ba85b7f87 (support/download: add explicit no-hash support)
introduced the 'none' hash type, in an attempt to make hash files
mandatory, but not failing on archives localy generated, like those
for git or svn repositories, especially for those packages where a
version choice was present, which would allow for either remote
archives for which we'd have a hash or VCS trees for which we could
not have a hash for the localy generated archive.

Indeed, back in the time, we did not have a mean to generate
reproducible archives, so having a hash file without a hash for
thosel ocally generated archives would trigger an error in the
hash-checking machinery.

But now, low-and-behold, we do know how to generate those archives,
and we have a mechanism to explicitly exclude some archives from being
hash-checked (e.g. when the version string itself can be user-provided).

As such, the 'none' hash type no longer has any raison d'être, we do not
use it in-tree, and its use in a br2-external tree is most probably
inexistent (as is the use of hash files alotgether most probably).

So we simply drop the support for that.

9d5749d2de docs/manual/cargo: document the cargo-package infrastructure
The Buildroot manual was already providing some details on how to
integrate Cargo packages, and those details now need to be updated
with a proper documentation for the cargo-package infrastructure, as
well as updates related to vendoring support, which affects how
dependencies are handled.

In addition, now that we have vendoring support for Cargo packages,
let's rewrite the dependency management section in a more accurate
way.

We drop the part about the local cache of the registry, because
+CARGO_HOME+ in Buildroot points to $(HOST_DIR)/share/cargo, which is
not shared between builds nor preserved accross builds, so its effect
as a cache is limited.

a9dc2de551 docs/manual/contribute.txt: rewrite the section dedicated to runtime tests
The current documentation was poorly organized, with for example the
"Here is an example walk through of running a test case" sentence
followed by the explanation of how to list available test cases, but
not how to run one.

Many other aspects of the wording were confusing, or not really
accurate.

23186356a1 support/scripts/generate-gitlab-ci-yml: allow multiple tests in one pipeline
The current Gitlab CI mechanism allows to trigger all tests in a CI
pipeline by pushing a branch named <something>-runtime-tests, or to
trigger a single test in a CI pipeline by pushing a branch name
<something>-tests.<name of test>.

However, there are cases where it is useful to run a suite of tests,
for example to run all tests in tests.init.test_busybox.

This commit makes that possible by extending the current semantic of
<something>-tests.<name of test> to not expect a complete test name,
but instead to accept all tests that starts with the given pattern.

This allows to do:

  git push gitlab HEAD:foobar-tests.init.test_busybox.TestInitSystemBusyboxRo

like it was the case before. But it now also allows to do:

  git push gitlab HEAD:foobar-tests.init.test_busybox

to run all Busybox tests.

e1ee121cae docs/manual/using-buildroot-debugger: suggest '-ix' iso '-x' when loading gdbinit
A gdbinit file passed via '-x' will be read _after_ parsing any
object/core file passed on the command-line. In cross-compilation context,
this is particularly a problem when loading a core file, because without the
'sysroot' specified in the gdbinit file, it will give a lot of warnings,
like:

    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libstdc++.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/librt.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libm.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libgcc_s.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libc.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libanl.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libdl.so.2" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libpthread.so.0" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/usr/lib/libz.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libnss_files.so.2" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)

    warning: Could not load shared library symbols for 17 libraries, e.g. [...]
    Use the "info sharedlibrary" command to see the complete listing.
    Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?

In contrast, the '-ix' option will load the specified gdbinit file _before_
parsing object/core files. This will remove said warnings.

c7d71b707d package/pkg-kconfig: generate generic help
Currently, as Thomas pointed out [0], the help for kconfig packages is
not consistently used and handled by the different packages.

This commit introduces a generic help text for kconfig packages, that is
based on what the package declares:

  - the list of kconfig editors it supports;

  - whether it is possible to save back the configuration (impossible if
    the package uses an in-tree defconfig file);

  - whether the package actually supports (loading and saving) defconfig
    files, by introducing a new variable a package can set if it does
    not (only busybox is known to be in that case).

That new help helper is only used if the package does not already define
its own help, to be consistent with what we do for other _CMDS.

61c5e0319c package/pkg-cmake.mk: determine CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE depending on BR2_ENABLE_RUNTIME_DEBUG
The CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is currently set as 'Debug' in case BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG is
set, and as 'Release' in other cases. However, while the description of
BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG is to enable debug symbols (no runtime impact), the 'Debug'
build type in CMake can actually have runtime impact. For one, because it
does not set -DNDEBUG like is done for 'Release', but also because packages
may do custom things based on it.

The question of which CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Buildroot should set, be it 'Debug',
'Release', 'RelWithDebInfo' or others, has come up several times in the
past. See some references below:

- July 2016: switch from Debug to RelWithDebInfo:
  https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=4b0120183404913f7f7788ef4f0f6b51498ef363

- October 2016: switch from RelWithDebInfo back to Debug:
  https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=104bb29e0490bfb487e2e665448dd3ca07fcc2b5
  and changes to make sure Buildroot's flags are respected:
  https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=12494ef48f893684d0800e7f6fe39a2ceaed0451

- August 2017: bug #10246 - "BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG does not have the expected
  effect for cmake packages"
  https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10246

- August 2017: mail thread following bug #10246:
  http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2017-August/200778.html

In the last mail thread, Samuel Martin confirmed that the 'Release' build
type could be used in all cases, because Buildroot is actually making sure
that the optimization flags are those determined by Buildroot, not the
defaults of cmake, thanks to commit 12494ef48f.
But Arnout Vandecappelle objected to using always 'Release', stating that
users may actually want the extra assertions.

With the introduction of BR2_ENABLE_RUNTIME_DEBUG, Buildroot can now cater
for all cases:

- use CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release by default. This makes sure that there is no
  unexpected performance degradation triggered by enabling BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG.

- users can optionally enable BR2_ENABLE_RUNTIME_DEBUG if they want runtime
  debug info like assertions, at the risk of introducing performance
  degradation. In this case, we switch to CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug.

- orthogonally to the above, BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG still determines passing the
  '-g' flag to enable debug symbols, and BR2_OPTIMIZE_X still determines the
  used optimization flags.

fe3cb7978a docs: move the IRC channel away from Freenode
Due to the recent events at Frenode [0], the channel has become a bit
unreliable (much spammed), and users have started to move away already,
as quite a few other projects have moved their IRC presence away from
Freenode.

There are a few alternatives. The first to spring to mind, is the new
Libera.Chat network [1], managed by the previous Freenode staff, so we
could expect quite a good experience there. However, it is a very young
network. The second well known alternative is the long-established OFTC,
which has been very reliable in its 20 years of existence.

So, let's move to OFTC, just because it has a track-record of robustness
(which Libera.Chat still has to build, for being young).

Note: there are a lot of other IRC networks, some very good too, but we
probably would be much off-topic on most of them.

efdcd651bf package/Makefile.in: expose CONFIG_DIR to post-build/post-image scripts
Sometimes, post-build or post-image scripts need to reinvoke
Buildroot's make, for example to execute "make printvars".

However, so far post-build/image/fakeroot can't trivially run printvars
in a way that worked for both in-tree and out-of-tree builds. Indeed:

 * "make printvars" would work for in-tree builds, but not out of tree
   builds

 * "make -C ${O} printvars" would work for out-of-tree builds, but not
   in-tree builds

 * "make -C ${BR2_CONFIG%/*} printvars" works in both cases, but it is
   a bit cryptic, and two maintainers did not even immediately think of
   it

In order to solve this, this commit exposes $(CONFIG_DIR) to
post-build/image/fakeroot scripts, through the EXTRA_ENV variable.

The documentation is updated accordingly.

39d334faa5 package/pkg-qmake: add <pkg>_SYNC_QT_HEADERS support
Some qmake based packages need to call the syncqt.pl script before
building to have a properly populated "include" directory inside the
package build tree.

This script is normally automatically executed by qmake when a source
tree is from a git clone: buildroot purges the .git directory hence
the script never runs, and we need to call it explicitly. Setting
<pkg>_SYNC_QT_HEADERS = YES will force calling this script.
