dev-manual, ref-manual: Image format implementation changes

Browse Source 
Recently a number of changes have happened on the implementation
side of some image formats, and a few have been renamed.
The u-boot image signing code is now always available and no
longer in a stand-alone file.  The vmdk/mdi/qcow2 images have
been removed and are now just a conversion type that is applied
to wic images.

The <filename>image_types_uboot</filename> class
defines additional image types specifically for the U-Boot bootloader.
This class also handles conversion and compression of images.

To build a VMware VMDK image, you need to add "wic.vmdk" to
<link linkend='var-IMAGE_FSTYPES'><filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename></link>.
This would also be similar for Virtual Box Virtual Disk Image
("vdi") and QEMU Copy On Write Version 2 ("qcow2") images.
