ref-manual: Downplayed the BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE variable.
Applied some suggestions from Paul Eggleton to downplay the role of this variable. It is basically ignored now in all parts of the manual set except for the descriptions of the variable itself and the BBLAYERS variable. I added some text reinforcing the fact that BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE is ignored by the build system and only matters if you are using Hob.
