ref-manual, dev-manual: Added CMake toolchain files.
Fixes [YOCTO #12760] Updated the cmake.bbclass description to tell what directory to insall custom CMake toolchain files into. Also, updated the two areas in the "Writing a New Recipe" section that mention CMake. Placed a couple notes there concerning the same directory stuff.
