This rule was added back in 9429e7b698 (core: introduce an intermediate
rule before the configurators) when the kconfig-side br2-external file
was generated separately from the Makefile-side one.
Now that they are generated together very early in the Makefile, we no
longer need this intermediate rule. Drop it.

Now that the two (all of them!) br2-external related files are generated
in the same location, it makes sense they are named after the same
pattern.
When initial support for (then single) br2-external trees was added back
in a4239f7fd1 (core: introduce the BR2_EXTERNAL variable), it was not
clear-cut why that file was not named with a br2 prefix.
So rename it now.

Apparently, patchwork only recognizes the 'Fixes' tag if it is followed
by a colon. So make sure the manual documents it as such.

Meson does not allow to pass CFLAGS/LDFLAGS/CXXFLAGS via the environment
or via command-line arguments or options (instead, those flags from the
environment are passed to the host compiler, which is seldom what we
need). The only way to pas those flags is via the cross-compilation.conf
file.
Add LIBFOO_CFLAGS, LIBFOO_LDFLAGS and LIBFOO_CXXFLAGS variables to allow
packages to provide their own flags, possibly overriding the generic
ones entirely, as we allow for other infras. Those per-package flags will
then be used to generate the per-package cross-compilation.conf.
This means that the meson infra is the first and only infra for which
FOO_CFLAGS, FOO_LDFLAGS, and FOO_CXXFLAGS are meaningful, while for the
other infras, they are just variables private to the package itself.
Instead of naming those variables after the meson infra (e.g.
FOO_MESON_CFLAGS), we name them with a generic name, as maybe, just
maybe, we could also change the other infras to also recognise those
variables.
Just like for the HOST_MESON_SED_CFLAGS etc., we need to add auxiliary
variables to do convert the shell-formatted argument list into the
JSON-formatted list that meson expects. We can't use a pure-make
construct because the CFLAGS can contain quoting that needs to be
expanded by the shell. Similarly, we need a condition on the strip'ed
variable to avoid passing empty arguments.
To mimic this feature for packages that are built from the SDK, we also
install a templatised version of cross-compilation.conf, with three new
placeholders for custom flags. If a user wants to build a package that
needs custom flags, they can use that template to generate a per-package
cross-compilation.conf.

The hidden Config.in option BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS name is
not very clear as to whether it says whether Go is available for the
target architecture or the host architecture.
Until now, this was fine since there was support for host Go
packages. But as we are about to introduce support for building host
Go packages, we need to clarify the meaning of
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS. Since it says whether the target
architecture has support for Go or not, we rename it to
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS.
And since BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS is tightly related,
we rename it to BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS.

For about two years, a legal entity called "Buildroot Association" was
created in France to support the Buildroot project. Until fall 2018,
this legal entity has not been used. In fall 2018, we started using it
in order to receive donations from companies in order to organize the
Buildroot Developers Meeting that took place before the Embedded Linux
Conference Europe 2018 in Edinburgh.
This commit creates a new page on our web site that documents the
existence of this Buildroot Association, and details how to become a
member. Both individuals and companies can become members.
It is worth stating that the Buildroot Association does not control
the Buildroot project: it remains a fully open-source and
community-driven project. The Buildroot Association only serves as a
legal entity to handle donations and money needed to organize the
Buildroot Developers Meeting, and pay for a few expenses related to
the project (such as domain names).

the criteria established for custom skeletons and using the same script
uesd by skeleton-custom.mk.

skeleton-custom does not install the required /bin, /lib and /sbin
directories (or symlinks), which may result in an imcomplete tree, The
user could add the required directories/symlinks to the skeleton but
they may be invalid, depending on the state of BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR.
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR and BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD
- Set BR2_ROOTFS_SKELETON_CUSTOM_PATH to "system/skeleton"
- Run "make skeleton"
- target/{bin.lib,sbin} will not exist
Add calls to SYSTEM_USR_SYMLINKS_OR_DIRS to INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS and
INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS, so the required directories or symlinks are
created.
Add a paragraph to the documentation clarifying that custom skeletons
don't need to contain /bin, /lib or /sbin and must not contain them when
BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR is enabled.

library. Datas are therefore now converted in json format on the client.
