documentation/poky-ref-manual/ref-classes.xml: re-write of autotooled packages

Browse Source 
Section C.2 (Autotooled Packages) was re-written.  I removed a bunch
of <variable> tags and replaced them with <filename>.  Also removed
some Britishisms.

(From OE-Core rev: 7a932962fb8f0dbfe14eb2d3636ddbb1c974b947)

Autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool) brings standardisation and this
class aims to define a set of tasks (configure, compile etc.) that will
work for all autotooled packages. It should usually be enough to define
a few standard variables as documented in the <link
linkend='usingpoky-extend-addpkg-autotools'>simple autotools
example</link> section and then simply "inherit autotools". This class
can also work with software that emulates autotools.
