ref-manual: Added SDKEXTPATH variable description.

This variable is the default installation directory for the
Extensible SDK.  By default, it is "poky_sdk".  You can override
this variable so it needed to be documented.  The ideal place to
override it is in the distribution configuration file.

The default installation directory for the Extensible SDK.
By default, this directory is based on the
<link linkend='var-DISTRO'><filename>DISTRO</filename></link>
variable and is set in the
<link linkend='ref-classes-populate-sdk-*'><filename>populate_sdk_base</filename></link>
class as follows:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
SDKEXTPATH ??= "~/${@d.getVar('DISTRO')}_sdk"
</literallayout>
For the default distribution "poky", the
<filename>SDKEXTPATH</filename> is set to "poky_sdk".
