manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word

2024-02-24T16:13:28+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.

manuals: document VSCode extension

2024-01-12T11:34:05+00:00

The VSCode extension is now officially maintained and published by the Yocto Project so it should be referenced in the manuals to help users discover it. I located the most relevant places to reference the extension by looking at how the old Eclipse plugin was documented in the 2.6 manuals as well as the current Toaster references.

Point to https://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/ instead for people interested in tar archives. Simplify the description too, unnecessarily verbose.
