documentation/poky-ref-manual: Review edits on B and externalsrc.bbclass
I tried to implement some comments by Richard on the B glossary entry and the externalsrc.bbclass section. The comments were a bit confusing to me but the gist of it was I mis-interpreted Richard's comments on supporting separate directories for B and S. I had indicated that autotools-based recipes did this by default, which was wrong. What was confusing to me is where the comments should be. I ended up putting them in both areas of the reference manual.
