ref-manual: Updated RDEPENDS variable description with note.
Fixes [YOCTO #9963] I created a new cautionary note to warn the user to use the correct operator "+=" rather than "=" so that they do not destroy $PN. (From yocto-docs rev: e6861ffe9400b1ee48cc46ccfc6e8d65efbbec8c) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
