Fixes [YOCTO #1562]
In the dev-manual, I created a new section called "Using the
Error Reporting Tool" that describes how to use this feature.
The text was based on information I received from Andreea Proca.
In the ref-manual, I added a new variable entry for ERR_REPORT_DIR
in the glossary and a new report-error class in the class chapter.

Updated the TMPDIR variable to call out the scenario where a user
might want to separtely set TMPDIR to a local drive and thus be
able to have the Build Directory on NFS.
Updated the "Build Directory" term with a note indicating that by
default, TMPDIR is inside the Build Directory and thus cannot be
on NFS. However, the user is able to by-pass that per setting
TMPDIR separately outside of the Build Directory.

Updated the description to note that TMPDIR cannot be on NFS

The defaults for BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE are now
automatically set to the build host's number of processor cores.
I updated the "Building and Image" section in the Quick Start
to state that. I also updated the PARALLEL_MAKE variable.

I updated the figure that shows what do_rootfs does to create
the image. The new addition is the creation of the .manifest file
that lists out package information in the image. Supporting text
was also added in the section.
The updated figure was needed in both the ref-manual and
mega-manual figures folders.
Also, part of the fix included a new variable description for the
IMAGE_MANIFEST variable.

Added descriptions for the following variables in the glossary:
* MODULE_IMAGE_BASE_NAME
* KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME
* PKGE
* PKGV
* PKGR
* PKG
The first two are for the bug. The remainder needed to be added
as they were referenced from the first two (except for PKG, which
I was told needed to be added anyway. I also fixed a couple formatting
issues in there for some other variables.

Three broken cross-references to the "qmake_base" class existed
in the variables chapter. The actual class "qmake_base" is
listed as part of the "qmake*" class so there is no tag taking
a user to the exact "qmake_base" class. Changed the tag to
"ref-classes-qmake*".
