- get rid of the 'extractconfig' action, it was cumbersome to use, and badly documented,
 - introduce a skeleton for the config script,
 - update auto-completion,
 - document the config script.

8cf6201cbd Had a new known issue: ccache will break the build because we're sym-linking to have our own compiler for host and build systems, but that screws up ccache finding the real compiler.
There is no fix, so the only way to inform the users is to document it: remove ccache.

ef0f400c26 Introduce four new ARCH specific variables that CT_DoArchValues can set if they want:
- CT_ARCH_CC_CORE_EXTRA_CONFIG
  - CT_ARCH_CC_EXTRA_CONFIG
  - CT_ARCH_TARGET_CLFAGS
  - CT_ARCH_TARGET_LDFLAGS
This will hopefully enable architectures to specify specific flags.
PowerPC will need them to introduce SPE (coming RSN).
