This commit adds a new section
Working with Buildroot
-> Details in configuration
-> Cross-compilation toolchain
that gives a lot of details about our three toolchain backends. It
takes some elements that were previously later in the manual in
"Embedded basics" and in "External toolchain" and combines them with
more details about internal backend and Crosstool-NG backend.
The "Embedded basics" section becomes empty and is therefore
removed. A few elements have been lost in the process, but they were
considered to not be really useful, especially located so far in the
manual.

As discussed with Samuel Martin, there are a few questions about some
Buildroot configuration aspects that come very often on the IRC
channel and on the mailing-list. Topics such as the /dev management
and init systems are often raised.
Therefore, this patch adds a new section that provides details about
the Buildroot configuration possibilities. It does not aim at
replacing the help text of each configuration option, but rather to
complement them by providing more background. Having those
informations in the manual will also make it easier for us to point
newcomers to the right place in the documentation when they have
questions.
Note that this section will replace the "Embedded basics" section that
comes way too late in the manual. This is done in a followup commit.
