Minor edits to the BSP Guide, the Development Manual, and the
Kernel Manual to address [YOCTO #1717], which noted confusion
over the kernel manual when a user was trying to find kernel
configuration information.
The fix for this bug involved several areas. I had previously
created a new section called "Kernel Configuration" in the kernel
manual and "Configuring the Kernel" in the YP Development manual.
There were several rounds of feedback from Bruce Ashfield.
This commit represents the final touches on the three manuals to
address the bug.

to provide more information about this Git repository and why
it is important. Also, added information explaining why user
should use the same set up method (tarball or Git repo) as used
to set up the YP files tree.

Added a bit more information to the wording where it talks about
creating a Git Repository if you are going to contribute back
into YP. This change was suggested by Robert P. J. Day and
was submitted to me in the form of a patch. For reasons unknown
to me the patch Hunk failed even though I believe I had things
saved and applied correctly. I had to resort to applying it by
hand. I ended up doing a bit of re-writing on the suggested
change to clean it up.

that the section needed more attention.

I combined the section on changing package source code and
the section on changing package source code with quilt into one
over-arching section named "Modifying Package Source Code."
The section on Quilt was sort of a stand-alone section but Paul
Eggleton suggested that it is a natural follow-on. So I put the
two sections in as sub-sections.
