da03ea708b overview-manual: provide a more expansive definition of "layer"
A layer is not simply a collection of recipes; it can include any
combination of recipe files, machine and distro configuration files,
class file and more, so make that clear. In fact, a layer is not
required to contain any recipe files at all.

6ffe5c1335 yp-intro.rst: delete really old references
There seems to be be little value in continuing to point readers to
two references, one almost a decade old, the other almost 15 years
old, especially in the middle of a guide that ostensibly is part of
the introductory material.

025386d53c manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word
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.

ed6c38e3af manuals: document VSCode extension
The VSCode extension is now officially maintained and published by the
Yocto Project so it should be referenced in the manuals to help users
discover it.

I located the most relevant places to reference the extension by looking
at how the old Eclipse plugin was documented in the 2.6 manuals as well
as the current Toaster references.

Note that the first character after an em dash not
supposed to be capitalized, unless a specific
rule applies, typically when what follows is a proper noun.

Fix a few misuses of parentheses in following text.

c380ba5a17 docs: replace anchor links
Anchor links are treated by Sphinx as external links and are not checked
during build, meaning it is impossible to know if a link becomes broken or
not.

As a matter of fact, most of the anchor links replaced in this commit
were actually broken.

The README now states that anchor links are forbidden so that there's no
need to go through such a change later on.
