dev-manual, ref-manual: Created new section on linear revision for packages
Fixes [YOCTO #10995] For the dev-manual, I added a new section on incrementing package revision numbers that explains how the build system uses various variables to create linearly numbered revisions for packages. For the ref-manual, I cross-referenced into the new section from the AUTOSRC and SRCREV variables.
