ref-manual: New section and updates for runtime dep work

fixes [YOCTO #10248]

The bulk of this change is a new section called "Automatically
Added Runtime Dependencies".  Additionally, changes were made
to the RDEPENDS and DEPENDS variables. Some cross-referencing
to the new material was also added in the do_package task entry,
the do_packagedata task entry, the PKGDATA_DIR glossary entry,
and the PRIVATE_LIBS glossary entry.
