manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word

2024-03-01T15:19:54+00:00

To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are" by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural. In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx" by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at the end of the sentence. In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when it's redundant with the preceding title.

dev-manual: layers: Add notes about layer.conf

2023-10-25T14:45:51+00:00

As discussed before with Richard Purdie, the code supports this but the documentation does not. Developers in general will not notice this or focus on it because they do not mess with the layer.conf template file, but in my opinion I think more details can help.

Reusing content from the master branch which underwent this change earlier. This change makes it much easier to backport manual updates to the kirkstone LTS branch. To make the change and future updates simpler, reused file contents from master, only excluding changes which don't apply to kirkstone.
