Unlike <PKG>_DEPENDENCIES, <PKG>_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES only guarantees
extract and patch of listed dependencies, not build. Make this subtlety
more explicit in the documentation.

This patch adds a new manual section that captures an overview
of the run-tests tool, how to manually run a test and where to
find the test case script.
A brief set of steps is included to go through how to add a new
test case and suggestions on how to test/debug.

Update the documentation for the output/host/ directory to mention
that it contains the sysroot for the target toolchain, as well as the
host tools required for running buildroot.
Update the staging/ documentation to reflect that it is a link to the
target toolchain sysroot in the host/ directory.

Since <package>-rebuild implies <package>-reinstall and
<package>-reconfigure implies <package>-rebuild, it is confusing
to mention the make and make <package> commands when describing
the restart of the configuration, compilation and installation of
the package.
Therefore remove the ", followed by +make+ or +make <package>+"
portions in the "8.3. Understanding how to rebuild packages" section,
and add a new paragraph clarifying how to include the rebuilt package
in the filesystem image, if that is necessary.

Back in commit 025b863e6f, the option
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS was introduced, to
separate the option that host packages needing Rust should depend on
(BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_ARCH_SUPPORTS) from the option that target
packages needing Rust should depend on
(BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS).
Since the example in the manual is showing a target package, we must
use BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS.

For about two years, a legal entity called "Buildroot Association" was
created in France to support the Buildroot project. Until fall 2018,
this legal entity has not been used. In fall 2018, we started using it
in order to receive donations from companies in order to organize the
Buildroot Developers Meeting that took place before the Embedded Linux
Conference Europe 2018 in Edinburgh.
This commit creates a new page on our web site that documents the
existence of this Buildroot Association, and details how to become a
member. Both individuals and companies can become members.
It is worth stating that the Buildroot Association does not control
the Buildroot project: it remains a fully open-source and
community-driven project. The Buildroot Association only serves as a
legal entity to handle donations and money needed to organize the
Buildroot Developers Meeting, and pay for a few expenses related to
the project (such as domain names).

Add a step to target-finalize that checks each rootfs overlay, following
the criteria established for custom skeletons and using the same script
uesd by skeleton-custom.mk.
Add a paragraph to the documentation clarifying that rootfs overlays
don't need to contain /bin, /lib or /sbin and must not contain them when
BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR is enabled.

skeleton-custom does not install the required /bin, /lib and /sbin
directories (or symlinks), which may result in an imcomplete tree, The
user could add the required directories/symlinks to the skeleton but
they may be invalid, depending on the state of BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR.
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR and BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD
- Set BR2_ROOTFS_SKELETON_CUSTOM_PATH to "system/skeleton"
- Run "make skeleton"
- target/{bin.lib,sbin} will not exist
Add calls to SYSTEM_USR_SYMLINKS_OR_DIRS to INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS and
INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS, so the required directories or symlinks are
created.
Add a paragraph to the documentation clarifying that custom skeletons
don't need to contain /bin, /lib or /sbin and must not contain them when
BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR is enabled.

This patch rework the use of query.yahooapis.com to do the conversion
from xml to json required by our script and moves to the use of a js
library. Datas are therefore now converted in json format on the client.
Unfortunately, cause of the CORS restriction on nabble and
buildroot.org, we cannot retrieve directly the xml data from these
servers and we need a CORS proxy to do that.

Currently, our commit titles are not very well standardized, and it
would be great to standardize them a little bit more. A number of
people use "<pkg>: " as prefix, others use "package/<pkg>: ". Some
people start the rest of the commit title (after the prefix) with an
upper-case letter, some with a lower-case letter.
In an attempt to standardize this, this commit updates the manual with
some examples of good commit titles.

Some packages may want to build only specific targets, instead of the
default.
So, allow them to provide FOO_NINJA_OPTS (not really options, but we
just mimicked the naming we already have for autotools packages).
