and is nowadays the preferred method for enforcing license restrictions,

This sentence was originally written based on the comments in the .bbclass
file, but further editing led to saying the same thing twice. Remove the
duplication and also reword it to make it generally better.

Correct the fact that "none" currently generates
an image with "sysvinit", at least on Poky.
This behaviour should probably be changed.
- Expand the "Selecting an Initialization Manager" section.
- Stop mentioning "rescue image" generation, as this
is not detailed anywhere else.

The INIT_MANAGER variable was added in 3.0 but it seems we didn't get
around to documenting it yet. I have added a variable glossary entry and
made the basic adjustment of the "Using systemd Exclusively" section in
the dev manual, however I think the latter section still needs work.

tells folks what all of the values in WARN_QA / ERROR_QA are intended

and also use a proper reference for the buildhistory class in the entry
for version-going-backwards.

IMAGE_MACHINE_SUFFIX is a new variable in 4.2, and there were some
associated changes to how IMAGE_NAME, IMAGE_LINK_NAME,
INITRAMFS_IMAGE_NAME and KERNEL_ARTIFACT_NAME are set by default. As a
result, instead of repeating how KERNEL_ARTIFACT_NAME is set by default,
let's just direct people to the entry for that variable so we only have
to update one place.
At the same time I noticed INITRAMFS_IMAGE_NAME was not documented at
all, so add that in.
