Fixes [YOCTO #11630]
The exhaustive list of useful links and references to other
YP documentation existed in the dev-manual. This is not the correct
place for this type of reference information. I have moved that
list to the ref-manual where it should be. The dev-manual now
simply provides a link into that section.

Reorganized the way the information about entering bugs using
Bugzilla is arranged in the documentation set. The dev-manual now
has a section that is purely procedural and steps the user through
the process of logging a new bug in the Bugzilla system. The
ref-manual has a conceptual section that introduces the YP
implementation of Bugzilla by simply telling the user what it is
and what what its purpose is.

Changes covered several areas. Version 2.3 of the YP now supports
recipe-specific sysroots and is not limited to machine-specific
as was prior releases. Manual changes were as follows:
dev-manual: "Sharing Files Between Recipes" - Wordings were changed
to support the new functionality.
ref-manual: do_prepare_recipe_sysroot task added to the list of
tasks described in "Configuration and Compilation".
ref-manual: Extensive re-write of the "staging.bbclass" section.
ref-manual: Added a section to the build structure for
build/tmp/work/tunearch/recipename/version/. This section breaks
down the recipe-specific subdirectories used to create (stage)
the sysroot.
ref-manual: New section (entry) for the do_prepare_recipe_sysroot
task in the task chapter.
ref-manual: Added a variable glossary description for the
SSTATE_SCAN_FILES variable.
In addition to these changes, I sprinkled in a liberal amount
of cross-referencing for the readers pleasure.
