docs/manual: document the br2-external NAME

Update the manual with the new external.desc mandatory file.

Take the opportunity to add a section listing all mandatory files,
Config.in, external.mk and the new external.desc, instead of just
hinting about them in the external package recipes section.

Change the examples to use the NAME-suffixed variable instead of the
raw BR2_EXTERNAL variable.

Change all references to BR2_EXTERNAL elsewhere in the manual to now
use the 'br2-external tree' terminology.
