The ZephyrBuildConfiguration package allow downstream users to control
the Zephyr build system using a cmake package.
A Zephyr Build Configuration package allows for setting of additional
DTS_ROOT, BOARD_ROOT, and similar variables without having to patch
Zephyr repo, but it also allows for inclusion of additional boilerplate
code for more advanced use cases.
The repository or folder containing the Zephyr Build Configuration
package must be on toplevel in the Zephyr workspace.

DTSpec writes this as a single word, presumably to make it easier to
grep for / more precise. Follow along in the rest of the docs now that
our main DT docs page agrees with this usage.

There are a few different places where alternatives for setting
environment variables are described. None of them is 100% complete, so
the results are likely to be confusing.
Make a single page on setting environment variables, how the zephyrrc
files work, how the zephyr-env scripts work, and some of the important
environment variables, with appropriate references elsewhere. (This is
inspired by the Arch wiki's excellent page on installing programs.)
Link to it from the getting started and application development pages
instead of repeating the information. This has the benefit of
shortening the getting started guide a bit more.
Add some concrete advice on checking the toolchain environment
variables in particular. This is a stumbling block for beginners.
