Subject: dev-manual, ref-manual: Added PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS and concept support

Fixes [YOCTO #11274]

When a post-installation or pre-installation script uses tools that
have dependencies, you need to specify the tools using the new
PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS variable.  I added this information at the end
of the "Post Installtion Scripts" section in the dev-manual.

I also added a new variable entry for the PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS variable
in the glossary.
