ref-manual, dev-manual: Added references to SYSROOT_DIRS
Fixes [YOCTO #10692] I updated the STAGING_DIR variable description to have a reference to the SYSROOT_DIRS variable as well as the "Sharing Files Between Recipes" section of the dev-manual. I also updated the "Sharing Files Between Recipes" section so that the role of SYSROOT_DIRS is explained and actually used in an example to add another directory.
