Switch to bitbake-setup as it has been merged in BitBake with commit
b96154aeb1fc ("bitbake-setup: add the initial implementation"). This is
the default way to setup repositories now, so describe it in
brief-yoctoprojectqs.rst.
Update the BSP layer addition section to use meta-raspberrypi as
meta-altera seems abandoned (latest compatible version: mickedore).

This was not documented and its usage is going to increase massively
once users start using bitbake-setup. Add a description for this file as
well as an example on how bitbake-setup shares it for multiple builds,
to insist on the "site-wide" usage of this file.

The local.conf file is now mostly empty with the default way of setting
up the environment (with bitbake-setup), and this file is meant to hold
local user configurations, rather than an extensive list of variables.
Adjust the description to reflect the intended way of using this
configuration file.
Also, for both local.conf and bblayers.conf, rephrase the current
usage of the template files (.sample files) to _not_ imply that it is
the default way the OpenEmbedded build system sets things up.

Fix as many instances of unbalanced-inline-literals-delimiters as reported
by 'make sphinx-lint' as possible. Sphinx and/or its linter seem to get
tripped up randomly when references contain links to a heading which
contain literals enclosed in double-back-tics; especially in the cases
where a heading either contains multiple literals or when the literal is
not at the end of the heading. Not all of them can be "fixed" to pass both
building and linting.

To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are"
by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural.
In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx"
by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at
the end of the sentence.
In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when
it's redundant with the preceding title.

* Make reference to meta/classes* instead of just meta/classes

* Add a brief explanation to the classes reference explaining the split
* Add a note to INHERIT, INHERIT_DISTRO, IMAGE_CLASSES and USER_CLASSES
variable glossary entries mentioning where the specified classes must
be located. I contemplated adding the same note to PACKAGE_CLASSES
but decided against it, as it has a very specific usage and such a
note might distract from the narrative of that entry.
* Also trim the IMAGE_CLASSES entry which was quite outdated.
* INHERIT += no longer works with testimage so drop the note about that

If a variable has a glossary entry and some rST files write about those
variables, it's better to point to the glossary entry instead of just
highlighting it by surrounding it with two tick quotes.
This was automated by the following python script:

re_term = re.compile(r'variables.html#term-([A-Z_0-9]*)')
terms = []
for obj in objects:
match = re_term.search(obj)
if match and match.group(1):
terms.append(match.group(1))

content = "".joing(f.readlines())
for term in terms:
