It was not clear to me what a "full revision identifier" was in the
context of the note documenting SRCREV. After clarification via IRC,
this submission attempts to clarify what is meant to help future
readers.

- Add details about INIT_MANAGER
Correct the fact that "none" currently generates
an image with "sysvinit", at least on Poky.
This behaviour should probably be changed.
- Expand the "Selecting an Initialization Manager" section.
- Stop mentioning "rescue image" generation, as this
is not detailed anywhere else.

The INIT_MANAGER variable was added in 3.0 but it seems we didn't get
around to documenting it yet. I have added a variable glossary entry and
made the basic adjustment of the "Using systemd Exclusively" section in
the dev manual, however I think the latter section still needs work.

tells folks what all of the values in WARN_QA / ERROR_QA are intended

and also use a proper reference for the buildhistory class in the entry
for version-going-backwards.

IMAGE_MACHINE_SUFFIX is a new variable in 4.2, and there were some
associated changes to how IMAGE_NAME, IMAGE_LINK_NAME,
INITRAMFS_IMAGE_NAME and KERNEL_ARTIFACT_NAME are set by default. As a
result, instead of repeating how KERNEL_ARTIFACT_NAME is set by default,
let's just direct people to the entry for that variable so we only have
to update one place.
At the same time I noticed INITRAMFS_IMAGE_NAME was not documented at
all, so add that in.
