documentation/dev-manual: Changes to repo names and kernel example.

Browse Source 
To make the kernel example more easily understood, Joshua Lock
suggested that the names used for the bare clone of the kernel
git repo and the copy of the bare clone be more different.  So
I have changed the example such that the bare clone repo is
named linux-yocto-3.0-1.1.x.git and the copy of the bare clone
(or working repo) is named my-linux-yocto-3.0-1.1.x-work.

Note that this also implies the use of the linux-yocto_3.0-1.1.x
kernel and not the linux-yocto_3.0 kernel.

All the changes made here should take care of the example.  I
did have to introduce a new figure that showed the kernel
repos based on the new names used in the example.  Also, I had
to delete the other from this branch.  The examples are now
diverging according to (master) work and 1.1.x work.
