- We have gconfig as well nowadays
- Variables like BUILDROOT_DL_DIR can also be set permanently in the
environment, and not just passed to make every time.

Remove alpha channel and limit number of colors used. This gets the images
down to ~37% of their previous size without any visual degrading (in fact
it now looks correctly on ancient IE versions with broken png alpha
handling).

Document the new generic package infrastructure, and how target/host
packages are handled, both for the generic package infrastructure and
the autotools package infrastructure.
This documentation replaces the documentation that used to be present
at the top of Makefile.autotools.in. Both tutorial and reference
documentation are provided.

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 :-)

Invert the BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_HIDE_OTHERS option to use positive logic,
renaming it to _SHOW_OTHERS.
Positive logic is simpler to understand, and it makes all{,package}config
do the right thing.

As discussed earlier on the mailing list. It simplifies code, gives more
sensible error message on typos and makes the defconfigs easier to find
for users.
Furthermore, update documentation to match.
