ref-manual: Updated "Build Image" section for do_image<type>[depends]
Added information about how the build system dynamically creates do_image_* tasks (e.g. do_image_ext4[depends]) when creating the image. This is functionality that replaced IMAGE_DEPENDS_type. (From yocto-docs rev: c977df506585aad1ade99c390bacc04b54eb0e48) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
