8730750b33 dev-manual: improve descriptions of 'bitbake -S printdiff'
Try to particularly emphasize that it can be used to find
out why something rebuilds when it shouldn't.

d241202fa1 manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word
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.

5165ecaa14 dev-manual: Discourage the use of SRC_URI[md5sum]
SRC_URI[md5sum] has been deprecated for a long time. Discourage its use
by removing it from examples and note that it should be replaced by
SRC_URI[sha256sum] when updating recipes.

Also mention that bitbake supports other checksums, though they are not
commonly used.

0c8b5d0e69 contributor guide: call section "Reporting a defect"
Instead of "Submitting a defect".

We all write bugs, and nobody needs documentation
support for doing so!

8355326ffa manuals: simplify references to the BitBake User Manual
- Replacing
  :ref:`bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/...`
  by :ref:`bitbake-user-manual/...`

  Adding "bitbake:" as a prefix is not necessary
  as there is no naming conflict between the YP
  and the BitBake manuals (all documents are in
  "bitbake-user-manual/")

- Explaining the rules in the README file

- When necessary, fixing line length in the modified paragraphs.

8b1909aa6f manuals: simplify references to classes
Now that .bbclass is removed from class section titles.
We can now have, for example, :ref:`ref-classes-insane`
instead of :ref:`insane <ref-classes-insane>`.

Then, when necessary, rework paragraphs so that they
have lines of even length, not exceeding 80 characters.

01e5d22507 manuals: fix double colons
Fixing double colons appearing alone on a line, while
they could be put at the end of the previous line.

Sometimes placing a note after the quoted text
to avoid such a situation. It's more natural too
not to have a note between the introduction text
and the quoted section.

945c669138 manuals: split dev-manual/common-tasks.rst
A 500 KB source file is always harder to manage,
and can have section title conflicts.

So, the "Common Tasks" document is gone and all
its constituents are moved up one level.
You now have 40 chapters in the Development Tasks Manual.
