40cad5e0ac guide: Document TOOL_DEPENDS
Document TOOL_DEPENDS and clarify the differencies with BUILD_DEPENDS.
Adjust previous BUILD_DEPENDS examples (all of them were actually
TOOL_DEPENDS).

XXX: No BUILD_DEPENDS example is provided, if you have any good and common
XXX: BUILD_DEPENDS example please add it (a TODO comment was added regarding
XXX: that).  At least according a quick grep of BUILD_DEPENDS probably most of
XXX: them are actually BUILD_DEPENDS and maybe all real BUILD_DEPENDS are via
XXX: buildlink3.mk inclusion.

efd723eb91 Drop the use of compression in CVS.
"Do not use the cvs `-z` flag. The data stream gets out of sync,
leading to corruption on the client, or causing the client to hang
completely."

fa2fd523f7 doc/guide: remove outdated text from the Makefiles chapter
Most of the wording was based on the pkglint implementation from before
2015 and was too technical to be useful. Since 2015, bmake doesn't split
the .for arguments on simple whitespace but uses brk_string as well,
therefore that information was outdated.

c596b56bc7 doc/guide: Reword CONFLICTS usage suggestions
Despite most CONFLICTS are automatically detected at package
installation time it is still a good idea to manually mark CONFLICTS
in order to fail as early as possible instead e.g. of failing at
package installation time after possibly installing several (maybe
not needed) dependencies.

35ab598076 doc/guide: Use &*pkgsrc* XML entities instead of hardcoding them
Since the latest pkgsrc stable releases htdocs/share/xml/misc.ent had several
XML pkgsrc related entities added and picked up via htdocs-share-*.tar.gz
distfile.

Use them instead of hardcoding a particular stable branch/release (e.g. 2009Q1
or 2016Q4) or using `pkgsrc-20xxQy' (Yay! Now `The pkgsrc guide' should be ready
for the next century!).
