The maintenance and testing workflow sometimes requires to output a
list of every existing package on Buildroot:
- Generating an SBOM of the whole Buildroot tree, e.g. `for
security.buildroot.org
- List every source for every package, e.g. for sources.buildroot.net
The previous solution relied on `make allyesconfig` but always ran into
conflicts that needed manual resolution. Also some packages would not be
present because they are architecture dependent.
To avoid having to manually modify the 'show-info' command this commit
adds the 'show-info-all' command. It accesses the PACKAGES_ALL variable
with all the packages present in Buildroot independently of the
architecture or any config entries.
It forces the `BR2_HAVE_DOT_CONFIG` variable to be set to force the
reading of the package mk files.
It is also added to noconfig_targets, to avoid the .config influencing
the output of show-info-all.
Note that this is not yet a complete solution - it doesn't take into
account the multiple versions that are possible for some packages like
GCC. Also for e.g. linux or uboot the version is empty and the URL is
invalid.

This patch adds information on how to generate a CycloneDX SBOM in
Buildroot. It also mentions how to track CVEs with that given SBOM.

Although the asciidoc toolchain accepts any number of ~ to delimit a
listing block (i.e. a code block), it is actually specified to be
exactly four, i.e. ~~~~. Currently, a mix of diffrent numbers of ~ are
being used - sometimes even a different number at the beginning and at
the end of the block.
Normalize this to always use exactly four ~ for the delimiter.
