[PATCH 00/34] 4.1 release notes and related changes

[Paul Eggleton <paul.eggleton@linux.microsoft.com>]

Here are the release notes and migration guide for 4.1 (langdale) as well
as a whole heap of additions of missing documentation. I may have got a
little carried away, but almost all of it was necessary to be able to
have links from the release notes / migration guide for more information.

Some things that we still need to sort out before release:
 * Known issues (if any)
 * Download info
 * externalsrc class has been moved to classes-recipe/ but documentation
   and comments in the class suggest using it globally (presumably to make
   it easier to support a subset of recipes without having to bbappend all
   of them.) We need to do one of the following:
   A) move the class back to classes/ (easiest),
   B) update the documentation and comments to remove the global usage,
      and note in the migration guide, or
   C) add it as a known issue and fix with A/B later.
 * New direct ESDK feature refers to "bitbake populate-sysroots" instead
   of "bitbake build-sysroots" - Alex will be sending a patch soon.

A few gaps that are still present (probably post-release at this point):
 * Rust support (classes, variables)
 * New layer setup functionality

Let me know if I missed anything / messed anything up.
