This section was misplaced in the dev-manual and really needed to
be in the ref-manual. I created a new chapter that follows the
devtool reference chapter and put the kickstart chapter there.
Links were needed to be fixed up and a new chapter in the
ref-manual named ref-kickstart.xml had to be created.

share the same KMACHINE value. I replaced it with corei7-based
machines. Also noted that KMACHINE is for kernel mapping only
whereas MACHINE is for the layer's BSP machine type.

add value I placed in other areas of the chapter 2. One was a new
section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit
about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create
config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained.
Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well.
