Rather than just use d.getVar(X), use the more explict d.getVar(X, False)
since at some point in the future, having the default of expansion would
be nice. This is the first step towards that.
This patch was mostly made using the command:
sed -e 's:\(getVar([^,()]*\)\s*):\1, False):g' -i `grep -ril getVar *`

I added information for the scenario where deleting a task using the
deltask command could "break" implicit dependencies.

I updated the note in the second chapter that discusses the role for
BB_NUMBER_THREADS. The updates make it a bit clearer.
Also scrubbed the manual for instances of user-supplied values to check
how they are being formatted. I fixed the formatting to use the
<replaceable></replaceable> tags so they are in italics.

Given that the "do_package_write" task doesn't exist in OE anymore,
steal another, existing example to demonstrate the "rdeptask" flag.

I added some whitespace to bring the example to use 5 spaces
rather than for so that it follows the manual's convention.

I added text to separate this example code from the general
BitBake User Manual's spirit of standing alone and away from
YP or OE stuff. Also, added another space to move the examples
code so that 5 spaces are used for literal indentation.

I noticed that the examples from some patches were not indenting
by 5 spaces. I have fixed these to be consistent.

I think having a couple real-life examples here would make a huge
difference.
Comment from Scott: I modified the example description to indicate
that it is from an OpenEmbedded metadata-based recipe (i.e from
YP). We have been trying very hard to keep the BitBake User
Manual as separate as possible from the YP docs.

As long as i've understood everything correctly, this is just

There is no "populate_staging" any longer, should be

Added a brief subsection to the "Basic Syntax" section that
describes the issue using the tilde character (~) when providing
a pathname as part of a statement. BitBake does not expand
this character like the shell does. We recommend to not use
it in pathnames.

Per Paul Eggleton's suggestion, I added a new section on
anonymous Python functions into the "Functions" section.
I also updated the intro text to account for the added
type of functions.

This manual gets combined with other manuals and in that context, it helps
a lot if its seen as the Bitbake User Manual. Renames are a pain but
this is worthwhile so that other docs can correctly be combined with this
one. This also clarifies things like google search results which is helpful.
