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.
