ref-manual: Updates to variable wildcard support
Fixes [YOCTO #12390]
Updated three variables: BB_ALLOWED_NETWORKS, BBMASK, and BBFILES.
Fixed some linking to be sure to use Python3 links instead of
Python 2. Fixed a note to clarify use of the "*" wildcard
restrictions in the BB_ALLOWED_NETWORKS variable.
(From yocto-docs rev: 6f880d10d0830d80cc2d4d1d5b7ea141dad6d4af)
