ref-manual, dev-manual, bsp-guide: Applied Paul Eggleton Build history patch 4 of 5.

* BBFILES should be appended to with +=

* BBPATH should be appended to with .=

* Immediate expansion is not necessary for BBFILE_PRIORITY

* Immediate expansion is not necessary for references in layer.conf
  to LAYERDIR since these are automatically expanded at the end of
  parsing the file (and have been for some time).

* Add collection name override to BBFILE_PRIORITY example

* Fix comments referring to old structure ("packages directory" or
  "recipes directory")
