dev-manual, ref-manual: Re-wrote QEMU section.
Fixes [YOCTO #11630] I converted the QEMU section to a procedure. Also took the tips section and created individual sections from that. Cleaned up some areas in the QEMU conceptual section in the ref-manual (From yocto-docs rev: dfd3466be605fdd7438653bf54fd0df3594a5c50) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

1062 Within the context of the Yocto Project, QEMU is an
1063 emulator and virtualization machine that allows you to run a complete
1064 image you have built using the Yocto Project as just another task
1065 on your build system.
1066 QEMU is useful for running and testing images and applications on
1067 supported Yocto Project architectures without having actual hardware.
1068 Among other things, the Yocto Project uses QEMU to run automated
1069 Quality Assurance (QA) tests on final images shipped with each
1070 release.
