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

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.
