documentation: Moved "Yocto Project Source Repositories" section
Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The "Yocto Project Source Repositories" section is purely conceptual and thus does not belong in the reconstituted dev-manual, which is converting to a "how-to" manual. I have moved this section to the ref-manual under "The Yocto Project Development Environment" section. Moving the section affected several things. Three figures that where in the dev-manual were copied and moved to the figures folder of the ref-manual. This required deleting them from the dev-manual and adding them to the ref-manual. The makefile had to be edited to move those figures into the ref-manual and delete them from the latest version of the dev-manual in order for the tarball of files to be correct when the manuals are made. Links to anchors within the moved section had to be fixed in various manuals. Links to the main section "id" had to be fixed to point to the ref-manual manual.

72 The Yocto Project team maintains complete source repositories for all
73 Yocto Project files at
74 <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit/cgit.cgi'></ulink>.
75 This web-based source code browser is organized into categories by
76 function such as IDE Plugins, Matchbox, Poky, Yocto Linux Kernel, and
77 so forth.
78 From the interface, you can click on any particular item in the "Name"
79 column and see the URL at the bottom of the page that you need to clone
80 a Git repository for that particular item.
81 Having a local Git repository of the
82 <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>, which is
83 usually named "poky", allows
84 you to make changes, contribute to the history, and ultimately enhance
85 the Yocto Project's tools, Board Support Packages, and so forth.

87
88 <para>
89 For any supported release of Yocto Project, you can also go to the
90 <ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;'>Yocto Project Website</ulink> and
91 select the "Downloads" tab and get a released tarball of the
92 <filename>poky</filename> repository or any supported BSP tarballs.
93 Unpacking these tarballs gives you a snapshot of the released
94 files.

99 <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>
100 and the files for supported BSPs
101 (e.g., <filename>meta-intel</filename>) is to use
102 <link linkend='git'>Git</link> to create a local copy of
103 the upstream repositories.

106 Be sure to always work in matching branches for both
107 the selected BSP repository and the
108 <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>
109 (i.e. <filename>poky</filename>) repository.
110 For example, if you have checked out the "master" branch
111 of <filename>poky</filename> and you are going to use
112 <filename>meta-intel</filename>, be sure to checkout the
113 "master" branch of <filename>meta-intel</filename>.
