The command `devtool deploy-target` does not handle any dependency of
the application, even when properly listed in DEPENDS or RDEPENDS. While
the current documentation was clear on that, it felt needed to add a
note on the fact that build-time dependencies may also result in
runtime dependencies, especially for people new to the project.
Add a warning block below the existing deploy-target documentation.
Also, link to the Overview and Concepts page, which explains it
thoroughly.

We no longer provide this feature, so remove documentation for it. In
most cases, we can replace occurrences of "debug-tweaks" by
"allow-empty-password empty-root-password allow-root-login
post-install-logging" to achieve what this feature previously enabled.
Subtle, but the default local.conf does not include
post-install-logging, so in parts where there is mention of the default
local.conf file, adjust the documentation to only mention the first
three above.
In the intro manual, instead of providing instructions that replace
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES entirely, provide ones that append
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES.

with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as process:
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'capture_output'
See https://valkyrie.yoctoproject.org/#/builders/34/builds/86.
This is because capture_output was introduced in Python 3.7, and some of
the support distributions are still on Python 3.6. Since capture_output
is essentially just setting stdout and stderr to PIPE
(https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.13/Lib/subprocess.py#L547), do
it manually here to be compatible with older python versions.
This is also the case for the "text" parameter, introduced in 3.7 to
alias the universal_newlines parameter. Use "universal_newlines" to be
backward-compatible.

The variable SRCPV is deprecated since 4.3. Instead of including SRCPV
in PV, including the sign "+" is enough for bitbake to add the source
control information to PKGV during the packaging phase.
Update the documentation for SRCPV and the places where it was used.
When instructions previously referred to SRCPV, replace by mentioning to
include "+" in the assignment.
In most examples, "+git" is added to PV as it is the most popular SCM.
Simply adding "+" is also possible, although it is better practice to
include the SCM name, so give that example.
Update the gcompat example with l3afpad as it didn't include "+git" in
its PV definition anymore.

With the recent changes from commit
bd6265ca323fac547a197bb516dc4a9ef3897508 ("doc: Makefile: add support
for xelatex"), the list of dependencies needs to be updated.
The initial list of dependencies was made for Ubuntu/Debian, and the
packages were translated for the other distros using pkgs.org.
Add them separately from the rest of the dependencies as they pull a
_lot_ of additional dependencies (for LaTeX).
Move the texlive-fncychap documentation dependency to the PDF specific
dependency.
Notes:
- Fedora/OpenSUSE do not have the "lang-all" texlive collection, so
install all available languages.
- AlmaLinux does not seem to provide texlive-collection-fontsextra,
texlive-collection-lang*, and texlive-collection-latexextra, so add a
warning about that.

The package splitting section of the overview manual currently lacks any
explanation of how package splitting is implemented and redirects to
the package class, which is not really understandable for newcomers to
the project.
This patch adds a short explanation of what is done:
* How the PACKAGES variable is defined.
* How the FILES variable is defined.
* How the two work together.
* How to add a custom package.
This should give enough details to a new user on what package splitting
achieves and how to add a custom package.
