Migrate Netsurf example from examples repo to main repo

See original issue on GitLab In GitLab by [Gitlab user @LaurenceUrhegyi] on Jun 22, 2018, 11:57

Background

Instead of having a separate repo for examples of BuildStream, we should migrate these to the main repo and include them in the documentation. Raising this before we forget.

There are some issues with the projects currently which stops them building, which will need fixing before we migrate. So this ticket will need to be updated once these are better understood.

Task description

• [ ] Migrate the Netsurf example

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] Link to documentation page showing X86 image example
• [ ] Ensure that the user is instructed to install BuildStream-external via pip as they will require the flatpak_image plugin

I think that we're going to want to:

• Land !471
• Restructure freedesktop-sdk project.conf such that it provides files to share configuration with downstream derived projects

... first, before we add a demo of how to build a flatpak. While it is currently possible right now the steps are not attractive, we would do better to simplify the process before advertising it.

Note that this example makes use of some bst-external plugins (here - note that the package name is also wrong here...) thus requires the "BuildStream-external" package to be installed on the user's system. So we need to provide/direct the user to installation instructions for bst-external.

I've added a check box to the description to serve as a reminder to do this.
