bitbake: user-manual: Review edits applied throughout from Paul Eggleton.
Applied review edits from Paul Eggleton spanning the entire book. Small areas affected in all chapters except the "Hello World" Appendix. Noteworthy changes in the variables chapter where I added two new variables: BBINCLUDELOGS_LINES and BB_CONSOLELOG.
