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.

16 The <code class="filename">.bb</code> files are usually referred to as "recipes."
17 In general, a recipe contains information about a single piece of software.
18 The information includes the location from which to download the source patches
19 (if any are needed), which special configuration options to apply,
20 how to compile the source files, and how to package the compiled output.
21 </p>
22<p>
23 The term "package" can also be used to describe recipes.
24 However, since the same word is used for the packaged output from the OpenEmbedded
25 build system (i.e. <code class="filename">.ipk</code> or <code class="filename">.deb</code> files),
26 this document avoids using the term "package" when referring to recipes.
