dev/ref-manual: Document INIT_MANAGER

The INIT_MANAGER variable was added in 3.0 but it seems we didn't get
around to documenting it yet. I have added a variable glossary entry and
made the basic adjustment of the "Using systemd Exclusively" section in
the dev manual, however I think the latter section still needs work.

 Using systemd Exclusively
 =========================
 
-Set these variables in your distribution configuration file as follows::
-
-   DISTRO_FEATURES:append = " systemd"
-   VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
-
-You can also prevent the SysVinit distribution feature from
-being automatically enabled as follows::
-
-   DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = "sysvinit"
-
-Doing so removes any
-redundant SysVinit scripts.
-
-To remove initscripts from your image altogether, set this variable
-also::
+Set the :term:`INIT_MANAGER` variable in your distribution configuration
+file as follows::
 
-   VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = ""
+   INIT_MANAGER = "systemd"
 
-For information on the backfill variable, see
-:term:`DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED`.
+This will enable systemd and remove sysvinit components from the image.
+See ``meta/conf/distro/include/init-manager-systemd.inc`` for exact
+details on what this does.
