[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] help: add a way to document targets declared in local.mk/external.mk

[Jérôme Pouiller]

It is handy to use local.mk or external.mk to add specific targets
for current project. However, until now, it not possible to add help
message these targets.
This patch add LOCAL_HELP variable. This variable is aimed to be assigned
from any .mk files. Its content is displayed with 'make help'.

For exemple:
  LOCAL_HELP += "flash                  - Flash target"
  LOCAL_HELP += "chroot                 - Chroot into target/"
  LOCAL_HELP += "qemu                   - Run image with qemu"
  LOCAL_HELP += "install-nfs            - Extract rootfs in \$$NFSROOT (=$(NFSROOT))"
  LOCAL_HELP += "`printf '%-22s%s' '$(var)-feature' ' - Call $(var) feature'`"
  LOCAL_HELP += "Please contact support at company.com in case of problem."
