2017-01-11dev-manual, ref-manual: Created new section on initramfsScott Rifenbark
Fixes [YOCTO #7096] We did not document how to create an initramfs image to be included with a kernel build. Various variables sort of inferred the knowledge. I created a new section in the "Common Tasks" section of the dev-manual that describes how to create an initramfs image. Also, I updated the kernel.bbclass reference section to point back to the new "how-to" section. Finally, I also created a bunch of cross-reference links from various related variables back to the new "how-to" section.

2016-12-08ref-manual: Added KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME change to 2.2 migrationScott Rifenbark
The fact that the OpenEmbedded build system can now build multiple image types caused the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable to have the KERNEL_IMAGETYPE portion removed. This could cause existing recipes that use the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable directly issues. I added a section indicating that the user should address those recipes to avoid problems.

I also updated the "Sharing Files Between Recipes" section so that the role of SYSROOT_DIRS is explained and actually used in an example to add another directory.

2016-11-16documentation: Added new appendix for customizing standard SDKScott Rifenbark
Fixes [YOCTO #8584] This fix essentially had to document how to add the API documentation to the standard SDK. The fix required adding a new appendix to the SDK manual on how to customize that standard SDK. I could not put just one topic in a new appendix so I also added a sub-section on how to add indidual packages to the standard SDK. Other changes here were the introduction of a new file for the new appendix, updated the mega-manual.xml file so that it would include the new chapter when the MM was built. Finally, I added some cross-referencing to the new appendix from the TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK and TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK variables. And a cross reference from the distro features section on the api-documentation bullet.

Fixes [YOCTO #10445] Pointed out that the EXTENDPKGV variable is hard to locate in the BB manual. Firstly, we don't document that variable in the BB manual.... maybe we should. For the ref-manual, however, it is barely referenced in a side example from the dev-manual. So, I updated the RDEPENDS variable to have a "Tip" box in the area where it is shown how to use the package version as part of the RDEPENDs variable.
