Ricardo Martincoski c9b07cbdd0 docs/manual: standardize references to the generic infra
Currently the text for each package infra that mentions the usage of
variables already provided by the generic infra diverge from each other:
- some (golang, kconfig, python) add a cross-referece to the generic
  infra chapter;
- kconfig does not list any example;
- some mention _LICENSE as an example, others don't;
- some (cargo, golang, python) add an 'etc.' at the end of the examples,
  giving the idea that can be more symbols provided by the generic
  infra than the ones listed;
- most have the text 'works by defining a number of variables before
  calling the +<macro-name>+ macro', except golang and kconfig;
- some actually list 'A few additional variables' but keep using some
  old reference as 'An additional variable';
- some say 'First, all the package metadata' and other only 'All the
  package metadata';
- most mention _SUBDIR as an example of variable supported by the
  generic infra, even the generic infra manual not mentioning it.

Improve the correctness for the manual by standardizing the text among
the package infras:
- use the same text "All the package metadata information variables that
  exist in the generic package infrastructure also exist in the
  <name> infrastructure:" for all of them;
- add the cross-reference for all of them;
- remove the examples of variables inherited from the generic infra -
  this also solves the _SUBDIR problem, there no longer is any reference
  to _SUBDIR;
- wrap the modified text at 80 columns;
- add "macro" to golang and luarocks infra;
- use "A few additional variables" for qmake and waf.

At same time, add a missing format on golang manual for
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_HOST_ARCH_SUPPORTS.

[Arnout:
 - remove the examples;
 - add "the" where "macro" was added;
 - rewrite the preceding paragraphs for kconfig to make it more
   consistent.

=== Infrastructure for QMake-based packages
[[qmake-package-tutorial]]
==== +qmake-package+ tutorial
First, let's see how to write a +.mk+ file for a QMake-based package, with
an example :
------------------------
01: ################################################################################
02: #
03: # libfoo
04: #
05: ################################################################################
06:
07: LIBFOO_VERSION = 1.0
08: LIBFOO_SOURCE = libfoo-$(LIBFOO_VERSION).tar.gz
09: LIBFOO_SITE = http://www.foosoftware.org/download
10: LIBFOO_CONF_OPTS = QT_CONFIG+=bar QT_CONFIG-=baz
11: LIBFOO_DEPENDENCIES = bar
12:
13: $(eval $(qmake-package))
------------------------
On line 7, we declare the version of the package.
On line 8 and 9, we declare the name of the tarball (xz-ed tarball
recommended) and the location of the tarball on the Web. Buildroot
will automatically download the tarball from this location.
On line 10, we tell Buildroot what options to enable for libfoo.
On line 11, we tell Buildroot the dependencies of libfoo.
Finally, on line line 13, we invoke the +qmake-package+
macro that generates all the Makefile rules that actually allows the
package to be built.
[[qmake-package-reference]]
==== +qmake-package+ reference
The main macro of the QMake package infrastructure is +qmake-package+.
It is similar to the +generic-package+ macro.
Just like the generic infrastructure, the QMake infrastructure works
by defining a number of variables before calling the +qmake-package+
macro.
All the package metadata information variables that exist in the
xref:generic-package-reference[generic package infrastructure] also
exist in the QMake infrastructure.
A few additional variables, specific to the QMake infrastructure, can
also be defined.
* +LIBFOO_CONF_ENV+, to specify additional environment variables to
pass to the +qmake+ script for the configuration step. By default, empty.
* +LIBFOO_CONF_OPTS+, to specify additional options to pass to the
+qmake+ script for the configuration step. By default, empty.
* +LIBFOO_MAKE_ENV+, to specify additional environment variables to the
+make+ command during the build and install steps. By default, empty.
* +LIBFOO_MAKE_OPTS+, to specify additional targets to pass to the
+make+ command during the build step. By default, empty.
* +LIBFOO_INSTALL_STAGING_OPTS+, to specify additional targets to pass
to the +make+ command during the staging installation step. By default,
+install+.
* +LIBFOO_INSTALL_TARGET_OPTS+, to specify additional targets to pass
to the +make+ command during the target installation step. By default,
+install+.
* +LIBFOO_SYNC_QT_HEADERS+, to run syncqt.pl before qmake. Some packages
need this to have a properly populated include directory before
running the build.
