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.

(From yocto-docs rev: 00f02d45319bab90b72eab89fcb69cbe8bd05bb5)
