documentation: Rename of poky-ref-manual folder to ref-manual.
Changing the folder that holds the YP Reference Manual to be
"ref-manual". This will help with confustion over the manual's
intended purpose.

| 28 | BitBake is a program written in Python that interprets the metadata used by the OpenEmbedded | ||
| 29 | build system. | ||
| 30 | At some point, developers wonder what actually happens when you enter: | ||
| 31 | </p> | ||
| 32 | <pre class="literallayout"> | ||
| 33 | $ bitbake core-image-sato | ||
| 34 | </pre> | ||
| 35 | <p> | ||
| 36 | </p> | ||
| 37 | <p> | ||
| 38 | This chapter provides an overview of what happens behind the scenes from BitBake's perspective. | ||

| 42 | BitBake strives to be a generic "task" executor that is capable of handling complex dependency relationships. | ||
| 43 | As such, it has no real knowledge of what the tasks being executed actually do. | ||
| 44 | BitBake just considers a list of tasks with dependencies and handles metadata | ||
| 45 | that consists of variables in a certain format that get passed to the tasks. | ||
