documentation/dev-manual: Scrub for Yocto Project term

I have replaced the term "Yocto Project" with more appropriate terms where possible. (From yocto-docs rev: 622ef9a2b4897ecd151b641b43d7706ab673c989) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

-WRITER NOTES:
-I had this chat with Richard:
-scottrif: Terminology question:  We speak of "New Machines" or "Adding a New Machine" 
-          in YP.  Are "Machines" restricted to architectures? In poky/meta/conf/machine we have .conf 
-          files for the five architectures.  What exactly does the term "Machine" mean?
-      RP: no, each architecture has multiple different machines. A "machine" can correspond 
-          to a particular reference board or hardware product
-          we just have one reference machine per architecture
-          We're  a little vague sometimes as "machine" can refer to either an individual platform,
-          or in some cases a set of different platforms with common structure
-          (e.g. netbooks)
-scottrif: So our reference machines we supply are the five qemu* machines? 
-      RP: in oe-core, plus one "real" target in meta-yocto
-          (per arch)
-scottrif: I see four in meta-yocto/conf/machine.  Shouldn't there be five if there is one 
-          "real" target per architecture?
-      RP: yes, we don't have one for x86_64 :/
-scottrif: I think it is a bit difficult to map our four poky/meta-yocto/conf/machines to one of our 
-          five architectures.  Some have key words in there that identify the architecture but 
-          beagleboard and atom-pc don't.
-          We have a section that describes adding a Machine Configuration file to Yocto and 
-          it states that TARGET_ARCH is one of the most important variables that need to be 
-          set in the .conf file.  The four I am looking at don't have that variable.
-      RP: That has changed a little now. You need to include the appropriate tune file
-          which will set it for you
-          People had a tendency not to set all the right pieces so it got abstracted
-scottrif: Got it.  I see them in poky/meta/conf/machine/include.
-SOME CONCLUSIONS:
-I need to define the term machine.  It is confusing.  Then, this section needs to be cleared up
-so that there are some definite steps on how to do this.  I need more detail here.
