f210ab4e2f docs: fix $(PKG)_SITE_METHOD names (UPPER CASE => lower case)
Currently, the documentation says $(PKG)_SITE_METHOD should have upper
case names such as SVN or GIT, but the implementation only accepts lower
case svn or git. This fixes the documentation.

17b66affdf ccache: rework ccache management
* ccache is now a normal package (both for the host and the target).

 * ccache option is now part of the "Build options" menu. It will
   automatically build ccache for the host before building anything,
   and will use it to cache builds for both host compilations and
   target compilations.

 * bump ccache to 3.1.3

5f71fc1f19 Remove support for shared configuration cache
The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.

This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

5e5f3209f0 documentation: insist more on why output/target/ should not be used
A lot of people complain that the root filesystem generated by
Buildroot doesn't work because it lacks the device files. This is
because they use output/target/ instead of one of the images.

Therefore, insist in the documentation on this point. Even though I'm
unsure if users really read the documentation :-)
