dev-manual: A few tweaks to Ch2 of dev-manual
scott (or anyone else) is welcome to use any or all of this, or tweak to taste. i have a few other concerns with ch 2 but i'll read it more carefully to make sure i'm reading it correctly. - rpjday I implemented all but the addition of MIPS64 as it is not tested using the autobuilder yet. - scottrif (From yocto-docs rev: 927ff9be66a7471a33faf18a1122ce8b2bd21805) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
