dev-manual: merged "updating images" into the "working with packages"

Browse Source 
The section that talked about IPK-specific information for
installing updated packages onto an existing running target
system is parse and really needs to be in the section that
talks about setting up a package repository.  I moved it to
the end of that repo section.

Often, rather than re-flashing a new image, you might wish to install updated
packages into an existing running system.
You can do this by first sharing the <filename>tmp/deploy/ipk/</filename> directory
through a web server and then by changing <filename>/etc/opkg/base-feeds.conf</filename>
to point at the shared server.
Following is an example:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ src/gz all http://www.mysite.com/somedir/deploy/ipk/all
$ src/gz armv7a http://www.mysite.com/somedir/deploy/ipk/armv7a
