dbcb74ef81 manuals: document VIRTUAL-RUNTIME variables
Document the convention to use variables prefixed by VIRTUAL_RUNTIME.
Add references to the new term where possible.

Another reason is that such variables are recommended
in a warning issued by meta/classes-global/insane.bbclass

b01a12a135 manuals: expand init manager documentation
- 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.

945c669138 manuals: split dev-manual/common-tasks.rst
A 500 KB source file is always harder to manage,
and can have section title conflicts.

So, the "Common Tasks" document is gone and all
its constituents are moved up one level.
You now have 40 chapters in the Development Tasks Manual.
