ref-manual: Updates to native.bbclass
Fixes [YOCTO #12924] Naming convention does not apply to the second recipe-creation method described in this class. I have moved the note about that to be under the applicable method (i.e. the first bullet). Fixed the syntax reversal of the sample name in the example.
