ref-manual: Updated image-live.bbclass description
Fixes [YOCTO #9001] Updated the image-live class description to specifically mention creating *.iso and *.hddimg images as "live" images. Provided more explanation about usage through the NOISO and NOHDD variables. Also, provided a cross-referencing link back to the updated image-live class from the EFI_PROVIDERS variable.
