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.

This rule was added back in 9429e7b698 (core: introduce an intermediate
rule before the configurators) when the kconfig-side br2-external file
was generated separately from the Makefile-side one.
Now that they are generated together very early in the Makefile, we no
longer need this intermediate rule. Drop it.

Now that the two (all of them!) br2-external related files are generated
in the same location, it makes sense they are named after the same
pattern.
When initial support for (then single) br2-external trees was added back
in a4239f7fd1 (core: introduce the BR2_EXTERNAL variable), it was not
clear-cut why that file was not named with a br2 prefix.
So rename it now.

Meson does not allow to pass CFLAGS/LDFLAGS/CXXFLAGS via the environment
or via command-line arguments or options (instead, those flags from the
environment are passed to the host compiler, which is seldom what we
need). The only way to pas those flags is via the cross-compilation.conf
file.
Add LIBFOO_CFLAGS, LIBFOO_LDFLAGS and LIBFOO_CXXFLAGS variables to allow
packages to provide their own flags, possibly overriding the generic
ones entirely, as we allow for other infras. Those per-package flags will
then be used to generate the per-package cross-compilation.conf.
This means that the meson infra is the first and only infra for which
FOO_CFLAGS, FOO_LDFLAGS, and FOO_CXXFLAGS are meaningful, while for the
other infras, they are just variables private to the package itself.
Instead of naming those variables after the meson infra (e.g.
FOO_MESON_CFLAGS), we name them with a generic name, as maybe, just
maybe, we could also change the other infras to also recognise those
variables.
Just like for the HOST_MESON_SED_CFLAGS etc., we need to add auxiliary
variables to do convert the shell-formatted argument list into the
JSON-formatted list that meson expects. We can't use a pure-make
construct because the CFLAGS can contain quoting that needs to be
expanded by the shell. Similarly, we need a condition on the strip'ed
variable to avoid passing empty arguments.
To mimic this feature for packages that are built from the SDK, we also
install a templatised version of cross-compilation.conf, with three new
placeholders for custom flags. If a user wants to build a package that
needs custom flags, they can use that template to generate a per-package
cross-compilation.conf.

The hidden Config.in option BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS name is
not very clear as to whether it says whether Go is available for the
target architecture or the host architecture.
Until now, this was fine since there was support for host Go
packages. But as we are about to introduce support for building host
Go packages, we need to clarify the meaning of
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS. Since it says whether the target
architecture has support for Go or not, we rename it to
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS.
And since BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS is tightly related,
we rename it to BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS.
