Adds more details about the library migration
- adds the controller binder definitions migration to binder functions definitions and instructions using a sed script to migrate the old functions definition. - adds requirement reminder to af-binder version >= FF - fix wrong git submodule name given as example - Use AGLVERSION variable to set the PROJECT_VERSION. AGLVERSION could then be overwriten using command-line. - Use ${libdir} instead of CMake variable to set the Libs pkg-config variable.

+### Use the native af-binder functions
+
+The controller redefined some binder's functions to add an abstraction between
+several binding versions. But now, as the controller is binding v3 only, the
+abstraction layer from the controller has been removed and you should switch
+your functions from the old controller's definitions to binder's definitions.
+
+You have to replace any `include` statements of `afb-definitions.h` by
+`afb/afb-binding.h` if you included it somewhere. If you have only included
+`ctl-config.h` file then you are fine.
+
+```diff
+- #include <afb-definitions.h>
++ #include <afb/afb-binding.h>
+```
+
+To help migrating gracefully the old controller's definitions, you could use the
+sed script to automate the migration for you. From your project root directory,
+executes the following commands:
+
+```bash
+wget -O controller-migration.sed https://iot.bzh/download/public/tools/controller-migration.sed
+for f in $(find . -name *.c -o -name *.h)
+do
+sed -i -rf controller-migration.sed ${f}
+done
+```
+
+> **NOTE**: `AFB_ServiceCall` and `AFB_ServiceSync` has been migrated to their
+> homologue `afb_api_call_legacy` and `afb_api_call_sync_legacy` respectively
+> but you have to be aware that they are *legacy* functions and you should use
+> the news call functions `afb_api_call` and `afb_api_call_sync` instead.
+> Cf [Binder API functions reference](../af-binder/reference-v3/func-api.html#calls-and-job-functions)
+> for more details on these functions.

+should migrate:
