The previous bin_package description was confusing: it would instruct to
use the git fetcher to extract the content of an RPM package using the
`subpath` option - but that's not possible as the git fetcher can be
used to clone a repository but not to do the extraction.
Update the description by telling what it really does and what it
doesn't do, and by giving an HTTPS+RPM example.

We try to limit our usage of these admonitions to `note` and `warning`,
as the Sphinx documentation warns that most themes only style these two
admonitions. So add a section on that.

Add a section on providing global level configuration from the
layer.conf file. Since this file is parsed at an earlier stage in the
parsing process, it's not possible to combine bb.utils.contains and
{DISTRO,MACHINE}_FEATURES to conditionally set some configurations.
This patch documents:
- First that this file can be used for providing such configuration.
- Then demonstrate how to conditionally provide them, using a technique
that is currently used in meta-virtualization
(https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-virtualization/tree/conf/layer.conf#n50).
Fixes [YOCTO #12688].

This patch makes the "latexpdf" target compile the documentation with
xelatex instead of the default pdflatex engine.
The reason behind this is stated in [YOCTO #14357]: pdflatex does not
support compiling foreign characters, so we need to resort to another
engine, here xelatex.
It also increases the texmf config buf_size to 10000000 to avoid a
compilation error.

Newer versions of Sphinx already define a :cve: role that points to
cve.org, instead of the role we defined in conf.py that points to
nvd.nist.gov.
Rename our role to :cve_nist: to avoid warnings (treated as errors).
This is also backwards compatible, meaning we can build the doc with an
older Sphinx if needed.
The file were automatically replaced with following command:
find . -name '*.rst' -exec sed -i 's/:cve:/:cve_nist:/g' {} \+

The package splitting section of the overview manual currently lacks any
explanation of how package splitting is implemented and redirects to
the package class, which is not really understandable for newcomers to
the project.
This patch adds a short explanation of what is done:
* How the PACKAGES variable is defined.
* How the FILES variable is defined.
* How the two work together.
* How to add a custom package.
This should give enough details to a new user on what package splitting
achieves and how to add a custom package.
