ref-manual: Updated "Viewing Variable Values" section.
Fixes [YOCTO #10292] I added an additional paragraph at the end of the section that provided more detail on what the bitbake -e and bitbake -e recipe commands provide in the way output.

251 In addition to variable values, the output of the
252 <filename>bitbake -e</filename> and
253 <filename>bitbake -e</filename>&nbsp;<replaceable>recipe</replaceable>
254 commands includes the following information:
255 <itemizedlist>
256 <listitem><para>
257 The output starts with a tree listing all configuration
258 files and classes included globally, recursively listing
259 the files they include or inherit in turn.
260 Much of the behavior of the OpenEmbedded build system
261 (including the behavior of the
262 <link linkend='normal-recipe-build-tasks'>normal recipe build tasks</link>)
263 is implemented in the
264 <link linkend='ref-classes-base'><filename>base</filename></link>
265 class and the classes it inherits, rather than being built
266 into BitBake itself.
267 </para></listitem>
268 <listitem><para>
269 After the variable values, all functions appear in the
270 output.
271 For shell functions, variables referenced within the
272 function body are expanded.
273 If a function has been modified using overrides or
274 using override-style operators like
275 <filename>_append</filename> and
276 <filename>_prepend</filename>, then the final assembled
277 function body appears in the output.
