documentation/dev-manual: Fixed "Linux Yocto" term

Browse Source 
Throughout the manual, the kernels that are built and available through
the Yocto Project were being referenced as a "Linux Yocto kernel."
This reference is poor.  First, it placed Linux and Yocto very close
together and could upset the Linux folks.  Second, a better way would
have been to say "Yocto Linux kernel."  I have fixed by referring to
kernels that are available through the Yocto Project as
"Yocto Project kernels."
