documentation: poky-ref-manual, dev-manual - deveshell handling
Fixes [YOCTO #2909] Updated the "Using a Development Shell" in the dev-manual to note that the OE_TERMINAL variable is the thing that controls what terminal is spawned. Added a reference into the new variable description. In the poky-ref-manual, I created a new glossary description for the OE_TERMINAL variable.
