* dev-manual, ref-manual: Image format implementation changesScott Rifenbark2017-09-226-53/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently a number of changes have happened on the implementation side of some image formats, and a few have been renamed. The u-boot image signing code is now always available and no longer in a stand-alone file. The vmdk/mdi/qcow2 images have been removed and are now just a conversion type that is applied to wic images.

* dev-manual: Replaced release names and numbers with variablesScott Rifenbark2017-09-221-17/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | In several examples, hardcoded versions of release names and versions were being used. I updated to use variables from poky.ent so that examples would use most recent release.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11968] Purged all occurrences of the "oe-init-build-env-memres" script from the YP documentation set. Occurrences in a lot of places. The BBSERVER variable was also impacted and had to have the definition updated.

Uncommented it and put the proper beginning "N" variable in as the start.
