ref-manual: Updated "Images" chapter to remove listed dirs for recipes.
This list has grown substantially and it is impractical to list
the directories that contain image recipes out. I left the
"ls" command that the use could run in order to see those
directories. This makes the section of the manual much more
maintainable.
