ref-manual, dev-manual: Edits to runtime package management section.
These changes modify the patch sent by Trevor that essentially re-wrote this section. My edits were for consistency only and style of the book. No technical information or flow was altered. I did rename the section to be active to match the other package related sections. This caused the link in the ref-manual in the classes chapter to have to be updated.
