Currently, the manual states that if you send a series and include a
changelog in the introduction mail (0 of x), it is not necessary to include
a changelog on the individual patches.
This is not always convenient: for large patch series it requires going back
to the introduction mail when opening each patch, to understand what
changed.
This patch rewords the paragraph accordingly.

This patch moves the section about patch reviews and the
Tested-by/Reviewed-by/Acked-by tags upwards. Additionally, the first
paragraph is removed and replaced by another one. There are no other changes

This patch expands the introduction of the "Contributing to buildroot"
section. In general, the intention of this and subsequent patches is to
promote non-feature contributions, like autobuild fixes, bug report
analysis, TODO list work, etc.

A new menu and logo for the website, also some of the contents has been
reworked.
This patch also removes files that are no longer used, like the old
stylesheet and a few pages. The content of theses pages has mostly been
merged in other pages or was redudant with the manual.

The ELDK now relies on Yocto, so it no longer has the funky
non-standard way of doing multilib. Also, we didn't mention that Yocto
toolchains/SDK are not suitable for usage with Buildroot. Therefore,
this commit rewords this part of the documentation to explain that
Yocto/OpenEmbedded SDKs cannot be used as external toolchains in
Buildroot, and why.

Now that we have eglibc and glibc support in the internal backend, and
no longer marked as experimental, a little bit of rewording is
needed. It is no longer necessary to indicate that uClibc was
historically supported as the only C library, and that the glibc
support is experimental. We also update the rest of the description to
be less uClibc specific.

There is no need to tell people that they should remove stamp files: they
should use the make <pkg>-reconfigure and make <pkg>-rebuild make targets
instead. We still keep an explanation about stamp files, just to give the
user an insight on how Buildroot works internally.

Using a relative path for O=... has limitations, since it is interpreted
relative to the Buildroot tree, and thus may lead to unexpected results.
For example, running this:
make -C buildroot O=my-O
will not create my-O in the current working directory, but as a
sub-directory of the Buildroot tree, here in buildroot/my-O
Explain this in the manual (as is similarly done for BR2_EXTERNAL).
Also add a note that $(O) will be created if missing.
Also change O=.. and -C .. to O=<...> and -C <...> to make it explicit
this is an ellipse, not a relative path.

Although it is possible to use relative paths, there are a few pitfalls
when doing so.
To avoid confusion for a (newcoming) user, use absolute paths in the
manual (as is done in examples for $(O)), since it is guaranteed to be
working without corner cases.

This patch converts udev to a virtual package. For the moment, there is only
one provider for the udev features: eudev.
Packages meant to provide udev-like features must select the symbol
BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_UDEV.
Packages depending on BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_UDEV or
BR2_PACKAGE_UDEV have been converted to use the new symbol.

Still export BUILDROOT_CONFIG but pointing to some phony value, to

This is mainly because the output you can see when you build, does not
