Doctoring a defconfig is tedious, and it is not easy to update a
defconfig, as it requires manual copy-pasting, adding comments and so
on...
Instead, just require defconfigs to be generated with 'savedefconfig'.
Any details can/must be provided in the commit log.

Commit 89d39fc7a3 "initscripts: new package" moved the inittab
packaged for Busybox init from system/skeleton/etc to package/busybox.
The manual, however, still points to the old location, so let's fix it.

The behaviour of asciidoc on my laptop (Debian 10.2.0-1) changed at the end
of last year, causing the BR2_VERSION logic to no longer work:
grep 'manual generated' buildroot-2023.02.*/docs/manual/manual.text
buildroot-2023.02.6/docs/manual/manual.text:Buildroot 2023.02.6 manual generated on 2023-10-16 08:41:26 UTC from

We don't really NEED to strip the -git suffix; indeed, for a git tag, there
would be not -git suffix, while for any other commit there will be one
and we want to see it (e.g. in the nightly manual, or on a development
branch locally).
So just drop that to unbreak the version output.

Even when configured for cross-compilation, the go compiler is always
able to build natively as well, and this is was we use in Buildroot to
build host go packages. This implies that when the target has
limitations, those limitations thus also apply to the host builds.
This means that, when there is no CGO linking support for the target,
the compiler is built without CGO linking support, and thus CGO linking
is also not available for the host builds.
Of course, when there is no go support for the target, the CGO linking
support only depends on the host architecture.
Add a new Kconfig symbol that repesent whether CGO linking is available
for the host; host packages can then depend on that symbol, like the
target variants do on the corresponding target symbol.
The dependencies of this symbol are a bit complicated. Fortunately,
because it is a blind symbol, we can write it with a combination of
"default y" and "depends on" statements. As mentioned, CGO for the host
is available if CGO is available for the target, but also if Go is not
available for the target at all. In addition, Go must of course be
available for the host. There are also the toolchain constraints of CGO.
We exclude MIPS64 explicitly based on BR2_HOSTARCH. For the host, we
always assume that dynamic library and threads are available so we don't
have conditions for that.

This didn't work out as planned, neither the restriction of muting
unregistered users, nor the exception for matrix users worked as planned.
The channel mode has been reverted to +R (meaning only registered users
are allowed to join) and an exception for *that* has been introduced for
matrix users via +e. The channel modes are documented in [1].

When the default (newest) kernel headers series changes the build can
break. Example error message:
Incorrect selection of kernel headers: expected 6.8.x, got 6.5.x
In the above case the defconfig used:
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_VERSION=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_VERSION_VALUE="6.5.9"
The kernel headers were not specified, so the build defaulted to using
the kernel sources as header source and the default (newest) header
series. From .config:
BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_AS_KERNEL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_LINUX_HEADERS_CUSTOM_6_8=y

The current implementation of buildroot depe dependency graphing
either does forward- or reverse-dependency traversal.
This patch enables buildroot to graph forward and reverse dependencies
on the graph for the same package: (Diagram Credit: Yann E. MORIN)
$ make pkg-d-graph-both-depends
pkg A -. .-> pkg E
\ /
pkg B ----> pkg D ----> pkg F
/ \
pkg C -' '-> pkg G
In the above example a single graph shows pkg {A,B,C} are needed
by pkg D, and pkg D is a dependency of pkg {E,F,G}.
Makefile help and manual are also updated.

of having a copy in the manual to ensure actual code and manual stay

The current phrasing is not entirely clear: one could read it as if
Buildroot will detect if there's an update available in one of the
dependencies, which is quite the reverse of what we do. Rephrase the
sentence in a way that hopefully makes it clearer that we're just making
a hash of the dependencies.
While we're at it, also extend the sentence about offline builds a
little.

Although the asciidoc toolchain accepts any number of ~ to delimit a
listing block (i.e. a code block), it is actually specified to be
exactly four, i.e. ~~~~. Currently, a mix of diffrent numbers of ~ are
being used - sometimes even a different number at the beginning and at
the end of the block.
Normalize this to always use exactly four ~ for the delimiter.

Currently the text for each package infra that mentions the usage of
variables already provided by the generic infra diverge from each other:
- some (golang, kconfig, python) add a cross-referece to the generic
infra chapter;
- kconfig does not list any example;
- some mention _LICENSE as an example, others don't;
- some (cargo, golang, python) add an 'etc.' at the end of the examples,
giving the idea that can be more symbols provided by the generic
infra than the ones listed;
- most have the text 'works by defining a number of variables before
calling the +<macro-name>+ macro', except golang and kconfig;
- some actually list 'A few additional variables' but keep using some
old reference as 'An additional variable';
- some say 'First, all the package metadata' and other only 'All the
package metadata';
- most mention _SUBDIR as an example of variable supported by the
generic infra, even the generic infra manual not mentioning it.
Improve the correctness for the manual by standardizing the text among
the package infras:
- use the same text "All the package metadata information variables that
exist in the generic package infrastructure also exist in the
<name> infrastructure:" for all of them;
- add the cross-reference for all of them;
- remove the examples of variables inherited from the generic infra -
this also solves the _SUBDIR problem, there no longer is any reference
to _SUBDIR;
- wrap the modified text at 80 columns;
- add "macro" to golang and luarocks infra;
- use "A few additional variables" for qmake and waf.
At same time, add a missing format on golang manual for
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_HOST_ARCH_SUPPORTS.

Recent versions of wget, starting with wget 2.0, aka wget2 thereafter,
no longer support FTP (nor FTPS, aka FTP-over-SSL). wget2 is packaged in
Fedora 40, recently released; F40 does not even have the old wget
available in its repository anymore.
Introduce cURL as a download backend, that we use for FTP and FPTS
protocols.
Note that the -q flag does not means being quiet; it means that a curlrc
file should not be parsed. The long option is --disable, which meaning
is not much more obivous than the short -q. It also has to be the first
option on the command line.
