[ YOCTO #14747 ]
Adding a initramfs is a common task, and the way oe-core offers to do so
is by using the initramfs-framework recipe and companion modules. There
was already documentation on adding an initramfs but the documentation
was lacking details on this framework. Add it before the multiconfig
section because it is a bit more important IMO.

There are different ways of configuring the build host when
authentication to a mirror (SSTATE_MIRRORS or SOURCE_MIRROR_URL) is
required.
Document these methods, and begin with the preferred approach which is
to edit ~/.netrc appropriately. When that is not possible, specifying
the credentials from the URL is also possible, so document it as well.

The command `devtool deploy-target` does not handle any dependency of
the application, even when properly listed in DEPENDS or RDEPENDS. While
the current documentation was clear on that, it felt needed to add a
note on the fact that build-time dependencies may also result in
runtime dependencies, especially for people new to the project.
Add a warning block below the existing deploy-target documentation.
Also, link to the Overview and Concepts page, which explains it
thoroughly.

The previous bin_package description was confusing: it would instruct to
use the git fetcher to extract the content of an RPM package using the
`subpath` option - but that's not possible as the git fetcher can be
used to clone a repository but not to do the extraction.
Update the description by telling what it really does and what it
doesn't do, and by giving an HTTPS+RPM example.

Add a section on providing global level configuration from the
layer.conf file. Since this file is parsed at an earlier stage in the
parsing process, it's not possible to combine bb.utils.contains and
{DISTRO,MACHINE}_FEATURES to conditionally set some configurations.
This patch documents:
- First that this file can be used for providing such configuration.
- Then demonstrate how to conditionally provide them, using a technique
that is currently used in meta-virtualization
(https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-virtualization/tree/conf/layer.conf#n50).

This patch makes the "latexpdf" target compile the documentation with
xelatex instead of the default pdflatex engine.
The reason behind this is stated in [YOCTO #14357]: pdflatex does not
support compiling foreign characters, so we need to resort to another
engine, here xelatex.
It also increases the texmf config buf_size to 10000000 to avoid a
compilation error.

current release.

This way we put a timestamp on the image, so that someone looking at the
image on an old release tarball has a representation of the release "as
of <date>".
Here set "Oct. 24" as it was the last time the file was updated.

The package splitting section of the overview manual currently lacks any
explanation of how package splitting is implemented and redirects to
the package class, which is not really understandable for newcomers to
the project.
This patch adds a short explanation of what is done:
* How the PACKAGES variable is defined.
* How the FILES variable is defined.
* How the two work together.
* How to add a custom package.
This should give enough details to a new user on what package splitting
achieves and how to add a custom package.
