dev-manual: Added reasoning blurb to "Viewing Variables" section.

Browse Source 
I put a new introductory paragraph in the "Viewing Variables"
section that alludes to why you might want to see variables.
Also, I linked to the section "Modifying Variable Values" in
the BB manual.

(From yocto-docs rev: 6e18524ba62d2ff1231184467b0dd24dab33cfe6)

<title>Viewing Variable Values</title>
<para>
Sometimes you need to know the value of a variable as a
result of BitBake's parsing step.
This could be because some unexpected behavior occurred
in your project.
Perhaps an attempt to
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#modifying-existing-variables'>modify a variable</ulink>
did not work out as expected.
</para>
<para>
BitBake's <filename>-e</filename> option is used to display
variable values after parsing.
