[Buildroot] [PATCH] doc/manual: rsync is not optional

[Buildroot] [PATCH] doc/manual: rsync is not optional

[Yann E. MORIN]

rsync is used in the infrastructure, mostly for the per-package infra,
and for the override-srcdir mechanism, but also to build the manual.
As such, it is not optional but mandatory, and already listed so.

Drop the reference to rsync from the list of optional packages.

You could argue that there would be use cases for not building the
manual, using override-srcdir or per-package builds, but it is also used
for creating the file systems, so indeed required.

Committed, thanks.
