Adding Luna and dropping Juno. Pretty much went through the
"Working With Eclipse" section and dropped Juno and added
Luna. A major deletion was the BitBake Commander section using
Hob. Todor told me to drop this section completely. Note that
I also added a couple new YoctoProjectTools that appear on the
menu: SystemTap and yocto-bsp.

Apparently the "‐" ENTITY used throughout the YP manual set to
get literal "-" characters in example commands renders into a unicode
that is not a dash. This results in users getting errors if they
attempt to cut-and-paste a sample command that uses a "-" character
from the manual into a shell. I have universally replaced all the
"‐" strings in the YP manual set to "-" strings.

In the introduction, the ref-manual references several other YP
manuals. If the manual is build separately, these references resolve
to the appropriate manuals. When the mega-manual is built, the
same references are designed to not become links. In otherwords,
mega-manual.sed processes those links out. This is by design.
I found a #profile-manual tag on one of the links in the introduction.
This resulted in a link in the mega-manual that would go nowhere. I
removed the tag.

I found a link that is processed by the mega-manual.sed file correctly
but for the situation it does not resolve right. The link is a
"naked" link. In other words, it doesn't have a #<tag> part.
When the .sed file sees these types of links, no hyperlink is
generated. I found a case in the dev-manual where I reference the
Toaster Manual in general and would like a link that would take the
user there. So, I had to add a #<tag> part to the link in the XML

The "Repositories, Tags, and Branches" section had some wording
that described how branches are maintained in the poky repo that
made it hard to maintain in the doc from release to release. I had
a list of past releases by name and as such would have to update
it every release to make it reflect the last set. Well... this
is not the best way to do this and proved out as it slipped through
the cracks for the YP 1.8 release. Consequently, I recast the text
so it is "release proof".

/etc/volatile.cache is a cached copy of a script (which is
generated by /etc/init.d/populate-volatile.sh) that generates
the volatile filesystem directories. Since volatile.cache is
a generated file, it is not necessarily changed if
populate-volatile.sh is updated. As a result, the stale script
can add/remove the wrong directories on the next system boot.
If initscripts is being upgraded, make sure volatile.cache gets
deleted.

Commit ea647cd9ee moved the locations
of /run and /var/lock to match the FHS 3 draft specifications.
However, the install doesn't remove the existing directories.
As a result, upgrading a system may result in /run as a softlink
to /var/run and /var/run as a softlink to /run, creating a circular
link.
During pre-install, check for the existence of the old softlinks and
remove them so the new directories can be installed.
