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.

                     Normally, invalid configure options are simply not passed
                     to the configure script (e.g. should be removed from
-                    <link linkend='var-EXTRA_OECONF'><filename>EXTRA_OECONF</filename></link>).

                     However, common options, for example, exist that are passed
                     to all configure scripts at a class level that might not
                     be valid for some configure scripts.
