ref-manual/ref-variables: correct and extend RREPLACES entry

Browse Source 
The existing definition was sparse and not quite correct.

I did some rewriting for active voice and present tense.

<para>The list of packages replaced by the package in which

<para>
A list of packages replaced by a package.
The package manager uses this variable to determine which
package should be installed to replace other package(s)
during an upgrade.
In order to also have the other package(s) removed at the
same time, you must add the name of the other
package to the
<filename><link linkend='var-RCONFLICTS'>RCONFLICTS</link></filename> variable.
</para>
<para>
As with all package-controlling variables, you must use
this variable in conjunction with a package name
override.
Here is an example:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
RREPLACES_${PN} = "other-package-being-replaced"
</literallayout>
</para>
