ref-manual/variables.rst: expand IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR glossary entry

2025-09-19T14:03:31+00:00

There's a (second) overhead factor applied in images generated with Wic, and this is already documented in the .wks reference. However, the IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR entry does not mention it, and by looking at the partition sizes (e.g. with parted) one may find it confusing that they don't match with the expected rootfs size (e.g. in a scenario where the extra space is "0" and IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR="1.0"). This second overhead is already documented, though: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/kickstart.html#command-part-or-partition Mention the '--overhead-factor' option in the glossary entry and add a reference to the wks documentation.
