ref-manual: Updated DISTRO_NAME variable description.

Browse Source 
I provided some real detail on this variable.  It was woefully brief.

(From yocto-docs rev: 6b40243984b7cc69a291b6f90ed04b45b7ce3ac5)

The long name of the distribution.
For information on the short name of the distribution, see
the
<link linkend='var-DISTRO'><filename>DISTRO</filename></link>
variable.
</para>
<para>
The <filename>DISTRO_NAME</filename> variable corresponds
to a distribution configuration file whose root name is the
same as the variable's argument and whose filename
extension is <filename>.conf</filename>.
For example, the distribution configuration file for the
Poky distribution is named <filename>poky.conf</filename>
and resides in the
<filename>meta-poky/conf/distro</filename> directory of
the
<link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>.
</para>
<para>
Within that <filename>poky.conf</filename> file, the
<filename>DISTRO_NAME</filename> variable is set as
follows:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
DISTRO_NAME = "Poky (Yocto Project Reference Distro)"
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
Distribution configuration files are located in a
<filename>conf/distro</filename> directory within the
<link linkend='metadata'>Metadata</link>
that contains the distribution configuration.
<note>
If the <filename>DISTRO_NAME</filename> variable is
blank, a set of default configurations are used, which
are specified within
<filename>meta/conf/distro/defaultsetup.conf</filename>
also in the Source Directory.
