1e0d58c53b 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.

fa870dfd0f 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.

f4d36b60f8 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.

337a21080b dev-manual: split common-tasks.rst
Reusing content from the master branch which underwent
this change earlier.

This change makes it much easier to backport manual
updates to the kirkstone LTS branch.

To make the change and future updates simpler, reused file contents
from master, only excluding changes which don't apply to kirkstone.
