We only documented a few of the <package>- targets and it's hard to
decide which ones are relevant for make help. Since the help is already
way too long, it's better to remove these advanced targets.

Instead, let's refer to the online manual.

At the BR developer meeting we decided to go for this option.

A TODO item has been added to create a 'make <package>-help' target
that shows all the package-specific targets.

Perhaps something similar should be done for the defconfigs and
for the allyesconfig etc. targets as well.
