concepts-manual: Updated Image Generation section.
Added wording to note that the rootfs might be compressed depending on the IMAGE_FSTYPES setting, which would have to actually do compression. Also, fixed examples of "do_image_type" and "do_image_ext4" so that there is no "[depends]" as part of the example.
