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.
