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 BitBake task executor together with various types of configuration files form the | ||
| 17 | OpenEmbedded Core. | ||
| 18 | This section overviews the BitBake task executor and the | ||
| 19 | configuration files by describing what they are used for and how they interact. | ||
| 20 | </p> | ||
| 21 | <p> | ||
| 22 | BitBake handles the parsing and execution of the data files. | ||
| 23 | The data itself is of various types: | ||
| 24 | </p> | ||
| 25 | <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"> | ||
| 26 | <li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Recipes:</em></span> Provides details about particular | ||

| 40 | BitBake knows how to combine multiple data sources together and refers to each data source | ||
| 41 | as a layer. | ||
| 42 | For information on layers, see the | ||
