66634ea8fc website: add Mind as a sponsor for the ELCE16 meeting
Also move Openwide/SMILE down to the past sponsors. This also requires
all the row endings to move.

Note that I chose to mention Mind twice, once as current sponsor and
once as past sponsor.

d4db4277ff manual: get rid of the lists of packages
We currently have four lists of packages in the manual:
  - the non-virtual target packages,
  - the virtual target packages,
  - the host packages,
  - the deprecated features.

Those list take more than half of the manual. They do not serve much
purpose except to show off.

After the recent discussion on the list [0], remove them all.

We can now get rid of our biggish and complex generating script (and its
companion library kconfiglib).

3c695928f5 doc/asciidoc: add possibility to define document dependencies
Currently, a document can not have dependencies, except for the purely
internal ones (like checking asciidoc version, and presence of dblatex).

For our own manual, this will come in handy when we introduce a
generated kconfig snippet, so we can actually make the manual depend on
that snippet being generated first.

For external documents, it can be used to depend on host-packages if
need be (e.g. a custom host packages that generates specific media files
included in the manual).

624dbec7e1 core/pkg-generic: allow packages to declare target-finalize hooks
Currently, packages using target finalize hooks must remember that they
need to register their hook in TARGET_FINALIZE_HOOKS
conditionally (otherwise their hook will be triggered even if the
package is disabled).

In order to avoid this potential mistake, this commit introduces a
per-package target-finalize hook variable, in which packages can
register their target-finalize hooks, with the guarantee that they will
only be triggered if the package is enabled.

2658b82353 Revert "core: add the possibility to provide help for custom rules"
This reverts commit 84c825f8e8.

Turns out that the custom help is not available when the $(O) directory
has not been configure yet (i.e. when there is no .config already
filled).

Rather than trying to work around this limitation with dirty hacks, just
revert this feature. After all, this will not prevent an external.mk
from providing custom help anyway; it's just not gonna be advertised nor
displayed with the main help.
