The way gettext is handled in Buildroot has significantly changed,
with changes visible to packages. This commit updates the relevant
section of the manual to document how packages should now interact
with the gettext support.

Now that all packages have been migrated to the new gettext logic, we
can remove the BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT and BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT_IF_LOCALE
variables.

We no longer support building the full-blown libintl in static linking
scenarios, as it causes too many problems. Therefore, remove the
special code that was handling this.

We no longer support building the full-blown libintl in static linking
scenarios, as it causes too many problems. Patch
0001-Makefile-fix-static-linking-issue-with-lintl.patch was added to
allow passing -lintl through LIBS, in a place that works for static
linking.

However, for dynamic linking, we can simply pass -lintl through the
existing LDFLAGS variable, as it was done prior to commit
38bfd129 ("package/net-tools: fix
static linking issue with lintl").

This commit does that and gets rid of the now useless patch.
