* kernel-dev: Eliminated "Generating Configuration Files" section.Scott Rifenbark2017-10-064-110/+101
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This section was largely redundant now. The small things that did add value I placed in other areas of the chapter 2. One was a new section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained. Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well.

* documentation: Moved devtool workflow to sdk manualScott Rifenbark2017-07-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The section on the devtool workflow in the dev-manual was 99% identical to what was in the sdk-manual. I have moved the workflow procedure from the old "Model" chapter of the dev-manual to be merged with what was in the sdk-manual. In truth, the only things added were a note about devtool not being exclusive to SDK development. The result of moving (deleting) this section was that the "model" chapter of the dev-manual went away. The devtool stuff, Quilt, devshell, and python shell are all out now and there is no chapter left. So, mega-manual had to be adjusted to not pull that chapter in when building the dev-manual. I had to delete three figures that were used in the flow. The figures were already replicated in the sdk-manual. The figures were deleted from the figures folder of both the dev-manual and the mega-manual. I had to make sure all references to the old devtool stuf in the YP doc set were adjusted.
