* [Buildroot] [PATCH] docs/manual: remove example comment causing issues

The manual gives this example for using the github macro:

  FOO_VERSION = v1.0 # tag or full commit ID

Unfortunately, people copy/pasting this example will face weird make
errors, because it leads the FOO_VERSION variable to end with a
space. Since the manual is anyway explaining just below the example
that FOO_VERSION can be used either with a tag or a full commit ID,
the simplest solution is to simply remove this comment.

Thanks, but I'll rather just fix the issue instead as people can very
easily end up with something like this when E.G. testing a version bump.
