Scott Rifenbark ed0a240e16 documentation: Rename of poky-ref-manual folder to ref-manual.
Changing the folder that holds the YP Reference Manual to be
"ref-manual".  This will help with confustion over the manual's
intended purpose.

<p>
This directory contains the <code class="filename">*.bbclass</code> files.
Class files are used to abstract common code so it can be reused by multiple
packages.
Every package inherits the <code class="filename">base.bbclass</code> file.
Examples of other important classes are <code class="filename">autotools.bbclass</code>, which
in theory allows any Autotool-enabled package to work with the Yocto Project with minimal effort.
Another example is <code class="filename">kernel.bbclass</code> that contains common code and functions
for working with the Linux kernel.
Functions like image generation or packaging also have their specific class files
such as <code class="filename">image.bbclass</code>, <code class="filename">rootfs_*.bbclass</code> and
<code class="filename">package*.bbclass</code>.
