Scott Rifenbark ae06e04cd2 documentation: Created new "Getting Started" manual.
Creation involved removing the overview-manual and replacing it
with the getting-started manual.  All links to the string
"&YOCTO_DOCS_OVERVIEW_URL" had to be replaced with
"&YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL" across the entire YP manual set.  I renamed
files used to create the manual with prefixes suited for the
new manual name, which is "Getting Started With Yocto Project".

The style sheet for the new manual needed updating to display the
new .PNG image for the title page.  The mega-manual file had to
be updated to include the files.  The mega-manual.sed file had
to be updated to include the new manual and not use the overview
manual.

<p>
The
<a class="link" href="../ref-manual/bitbake-term.html" target="_self">BitBake</a>
task executor together with various types of configuration files
form the OpenEmbedded Core.
This section overviews these components by describing their use and
how they interact.
</p>
<p>
BitBake handles the parsing and execution of the data files.
The data itself is of various types:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Recipes:</em></span>
Provides details about particular pieces of software.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Class Data:</em></span>
Abstracts common build information (e.g. how to build a
Linux kernel).
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Configuration Data:</em></span>
Defines machine-specific settings, policy decisions, and
so forth.
Configuration data acts as the glue to bind everything
together.
</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
BitBake knows how to combine multiple data sources together and
refers to each data source as a layer.
For information on layers, see the
"<a class="link" href="../dev-manual/understanding-and-creating-layers.html" target="_self">Understanding and Creating Layers</a>"
section of the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
</p>
<p>
Following are some brief details on these core components.
For additional information on how these components interact during
a build, see the
"<a class="link" href="development-concepts.html" title="2.8. Development Concepts">Development Concepts</a>"
section.
