Hello All!

This series intend to add the list of virtual pacakges to the manual, for
three reasons:

  - for users that are told (in a comment in the menuconfig) that a
    pacakage they need depends on a virtual pacakge, to know what provider
    to select,

  - for people writing a new provider for an existing virtual package to
    have a reference of which symbol to select and which package to provide
    in their Config.in and .mk files,

  - for people writing a new package that depends on features provided by
    a virtual pacakge to know what symbol to depend on.

The series starts with some preparatory changes and cleanups, then
introduces a away to generate different forms of tables, then goes on by
removing virtual packages from the current lists, and finally add a new
list with the virtual packages.

I consider this to be in RFC stage for now, especially as I would like
some feedback on the changes I made on the Python script, changes which
were done in an ad-hoc fashion, until it works, but will probably need
some more love to be clean.

Special thanks to Samuel for his pythonistic help! :-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
