bitbake: bitbake: user-manual: inform about spaces in :remove
Inform the reader that there should be no need for spaces in the value
when using removal override `:remove`.
Considering why spaces are used in the other override operators, it
might seem obvious that they aren't needed for the removal operator.
But, it seems like I'm not the first to be confused about this.
