71615e330c ref-manual/classes.rst: document the image-container class
Add documentation for the image-container class, which is a simple class
to generate an image suitable for creating a container.

This answers in part to questions asked in [YOCTO #14368].

It also adds documentation for IMAGE_CONTAINER_NO_DUMMY, which was added
in OE-Core with commit f0645e172bb8 ("image-container.bbclass: Error if
not using linux-dummy").

ef363542ca ref-manual/variables.rst: expand IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR glossary entry
There's a (second) overhead factor applied in images generated with Wic,
and this is already documented in the .wks reference. However, the
IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR entry does not mention it, and by looking at the
partition sizes (e.g. with parted) one may find it confusing that they
don't match with the expected rootfs size (e.g. in a scenario where the
extra space is "0" and IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR="1.0").

This second overhead is already documented, though:
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/kickstart.html#command-part-or-partition

Mention the '--overhead-factor' option in the glossary entry and add a
reference to the wks documentation.

9ca35cf808 ref-manual/variables.rst: update ROOT_HOME documentation
* Since scarthgap [1], the default will be overridden when using
  'systemd' as INIT_MANAGER. Reflect this in the documentation.
* The distro configuration is probably the better place for
  customization, thus at least mention this together with the
  local.conf.
* While at it, drop the probably redundant description on how to
  override weak default variables.
  The example on how to set "/root" is still given indirectly, anyway.

084ebc4980 ref-manual/variables.rst: HOST_CC_ARCH: fix wrong SDK reference
When building for nativesdk recipes, HOST_CC_ARCH equals SDK_CC_ARCH,
not BUILDSDK_CC_ARCH which doesn't exist.

7dbc9bff22 ref-manual/variables.rst: add missing documentation for BUILD_* variables
These toolchain variables are used in a native context. Some of the
BUILD_* variables missed documentation. Also, some of the base commands
were also not there so document them.

Some of existing BUILD_* variable documentation were missing the note
about their usage in a native context, so add it too so that all BUILD_*
variables are documented the same way.

It makes more sense to document ptests in the test-manual. Since ptests
are still related to packages, keep a link to ptests from packages.rst
to the test-manual.

da6fec8a1d SSTATE_MIRRORS/SOURCE_MIRROR_URL: add instructions for mirror authentication
[ YOCTO #15218 ]

There are different ways of configuring the build host when
authentication to a mirror (SSTATE_MIRRORS or SOURCE_MIRROR_URL) is
required.

Document these methods, and begin with the preferred approach which is
to edit ~/.netrc appropriately. When that is not possible, specifying
the credentials from the URL is also possible, so document it as well.

a789e8622a Update the documentation for SRCPV
The variable SRCPV is deprecated since 4.3. Instead of including SRCPV
in PV, including the sign "+" is enough for bitbake to add the source
control information to PKGV during the packaging phase.

Update the documentation for SRCPV and the places where it was used.
When instructions previously referred to SRCPV, replace by mentioning to
include "+" in the assignment.

In most examples, "+git" is added to PV as it is the most popular SCM.
Simply adding "+" is also possible, although it is better practice to
include the SCM name, so give that example.

Update the gcompat example with l3afpad as it didn't include "+git" in
its PV definition anymore.
