Add a paragraph and an example about using the Buildroot image registry
hosted on gtilab.com, for people who want to build their own image based
on the offical one.

Previously, the documentation only requested links to upstream commits
when backporting patches.
Based on a mailing list discussion [0], patches should, when possible
and when approriate, provide a link as evidence that the patch has been
submitted upstream.
The motivation is that hopefully the patch gets applied to upstream at
some point reducing the long term maintenance burden within Buildroot.
This also makes future patch review on subsequent package version bumps
more streamlined.
For patches that are unique to BR and do not apply to the upstream
repository, patches should have a comment explaining why they do not
apply upstream.

For some documents, we may want a terse or deeper TOC depth. For
example, short documents may want just the level-0 in the TOC, while
longer documents may want depth 1 or 2, or even deeper; also, some
documents may not use the document-title levels [0], only section
levels [1], and so may want to increase the TOC depth.
Additionally, allow per-format depth. For example, split-html has a
single page dedicated to the TOC, so there we may want a deeper TOC,
while on the html output, where the TOC is on the same page as the
whole document, a shorter TOC is preferred.

The value of the RM variable in make is 'rm -f' [0], thus the additional
-f is redundant. Avoid it on the docs to avoid developers taking it as a
good example to follow.

If the examples given for launching an out-of-tree build are executed
as-is, this will result in the error message
Please configure Buildroot first (e.g. "make menuconfig")
Even if "make menuconfig" was run before, it's still not going to work
because the out-of-tree build doesn't use the in-tree .config.
Therefore, the example really should start with some config option.
Since "make menuconfig" is used in most other examples of creating a
config, use that here as well. Extend both examples with "menuconfig".

Feed source is moved to a local atom file available on the web server to
remove further problems with unreliable feed sources.
Moving the feed required a bit of refactor of the load_activity function
so it won't download two times te same url.
This change requires a cron job like this enabled on the website:

Historically we have been (more-or-less consistently, sometimes forgetting
some files) updating the end year of the copyright statements at the
beginning of a new year.
We're naturally not alone in that. Recently this was discussed in curl, and
it turns out that copyright years are not really required:
https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/01/08/copyright-without-years/
So drop the years and simplify the copyright statements. While we're at it,
also ensure the same syntax (capital C, email address) is used everywhere.

The script "utils/check-package" checks that patch email prefix are
not be numbered. See:
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/utils/checkpackagelib/lib_patch.py?h=2022.08-rc1#n42
The error message recommends to generate patches to be included in
Buildroot with the command 'git format-patch -N'.
The patch policy section in the Buildroot manual does mention that.
This commit adds a note about that requirement.

The "find" and "xargs" commands, from the "findutils" package are used
during the build process. See for example [1].
Even if it's a quite common package which is almost sure to be present
on the host, it should be listed here. When writing new recipes, hooks
and scripts, it is generally safe and portable to restrict to the
host dependencies listed in those prerequisites.
This commit just add the missing "findutils" package in this list.
