overview-manual, ref-manual: Moved "Wayland" section to overview manual
Fixes [YOCTO #12370]
The "Wayland" section needed to be moved to the concpets chapter in the
new overview-manual. I moved it and fixed a few links that needed
adjusting due to the move.

1333 | is a computer display server protocol that | ||
1334 | provides a method for compositing window managers to communicate | ||
1335 | directly with applications and video hardware and expects them to | ||
1336 | communicate with input hardware using other libraries. | ||
1337 | Using Wayland with supporting targets can result in better control | ||

1355 | The Wayland protocol libraries and the reference Weston | ||

1357 | <filename>meta</filename> layer of the | ||
1358 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>. | ||
1359 | Specifically, you can find the recipes that build both Wayland | ||
1360 | and Weston at | ||

1365 | You can build both the Wayland and Weston packages for use only | ||
1366 | with targets that accept the | ||
1367 | <ulink url='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa_(computer_graphics)'>Mesa 3D and Direct Rendering Infrastructure</ulink>, | ||
1368 | which is also known as Mesa DRI. | ||
1369 | This implies that you cannot build and use the packages if your | ||
1370 | target uses, for example, the | ||
1371 | <trademark class='registered'>Intel</trademark> Embedded Media | ||
1372 | and Graphics Driver | ||
1373 | (<trademark class='registered'>Intel</trademark> EMGD) that | ||
1374 | overrides Mesa DRI. | ||
1375 | <note> | ||
1376 | Due to lack of EGL support, Weston 1.0.3 will not run | ||
1377 | directly on the emulated QEMU hardware. | ||
1378 | However, this version of Weston will run under X emulation | ||
1379 | without issues. | ||
