documentation: Added new description for the PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS variable.

Fixes [YOCTO #10183]

Added a new variable entry for the PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS variable.

With the introduction of the new PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS variable,
many places in the mainstream YP documentation that referenced
how to pass configure arguments using EXTRA_OECONF needed to also
make mention of this new variable.  I added many cross-references
to the new variable.

You do not need to add a <filename>do_compile</filename> step since by default BitBake
starts the <filename>make</filename> command to compile the application.
If you need additional <filename>make</filename> options, you should store them in the
<filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-EXTRA_OEMAKE'>EXTRA_OEMAKE</ulink></filename>
variable.
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-EXTRA_OEMAKE'><filename>EXTRA_OEMAKE</filename></ulink>

BitBake passes these options into the GNU <filename>make</filename> invocation.
Note that a <filename>do_install</filename> task is still required.
Otherwise, BitBake runs an empty <filename>do_install</filename> task by default.
