dev-manual, ref-manual: Noting TMPDIR cannot be on NFS

Fixes [YOCTO #5442]

Updated the TMPDIR variable to call out the scenario where a user
might want to separtely set TMPDIR to a local drive and thus be
able to have the Build Directory on NFS.

Updated the "Build Directory" term with a note indicating that by
default, TMPDIR is inside the Build Directory and thus cannot be
on NFS.  However, the user is able to by-pass that per setting
TMPDIR separately outside of the Build Directory.
