Subject: ref-manual, dev-manual: Clarifying "native" and "sdknative"

Fixes [YOCTO #8620]

I applied some review comments for the changes made to several
areas in both these manuals.  Minor wording fixes and the
dropping of some changes as directed by Joshua Lock.

(From yocto-docs rev: 71af89da612c37162ba27844c297879d643caf65)
