Due to the recent events at Frenode [0], the channel has become a bit
unreliable (much spammed), and users have started to move away already,
as quite a few other projects have moved their IRC presence away from
Freenode.

There are a few alternatives. The first to spring to mind, is the new
Libera.Chat network [1], managed by the previous Freenode staff, so we
could expect quite a good experience there. However, it is a very young
network. The second well known alternative is the long-established OFTC,
which has been very reliable in its 20 years of existence.

So, let's move to OFTC, just because it has a track-record of robustness
(which Libera.Chat still has to build, for being young).

Note: there are a lot of other IRC networks, some very good too, but we
probably would be much off-topic on most of them.

In the hope of improving the quality of patches sent by newcomers,
add a reference to the submitting-patches section of the manual
to the top-level README file.

'make list-defconfigs' is probably one of the more useful things
to get started quickly.

As discussed on the BR developer meeting at FOSDEM, the README should be
very short and instead refer to other documentation: the manual, the
website, the mailing list, the IRC channel.

As the e-mail address buildroot@buildroot.org is now enabled, update the
e-mail addresses in the source tree from @uclibc.org and @busybox.net to our
own proper domain.

Misleading/outdated docs is worse than no documentation.

We only have one Linux kernel package, and "linux26-" is an anachronism
in today's world.  So add useful "linux-%" shortcuts to the "linux26-%".
