dev-manual: Edits to "Metadata" term.
In the "Terms" section, I enhanced the "Metadata" term to include a bit about Metadata in the context of the kernel. This type of metadata is discussed at length in the YP Linux Kernel Development Manual. (From yocto-docs rev: c6f48bc4c33850eaa1dbf5867759a19d373766ce) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
