ref-manual: Updated PROVIDES and FILES variable descriptions
Fixes [YOCTO #10094] For PROVIDES, I added information about how the do_package task goes through PACKAGES and uses the FILES variable corresponding to each package to assign files to the package. For FILES, I added a blurb to the existing note how you can find default values for the FILES* variables.
