After introducing the DISTRO_LATEST_TAG and DISTRO_REL_LATEST_TAG
macros, use them in links that currently use DISTRO/DISTRO_REL_TAG. When
building for the tip of a branch, this will replace the current A.B.999
in links to the latest existing tag.
The links were found across the documentation by running 'grep -r
"http.*5\.2\.999"' inside the _build/html output after building the
docs.

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.

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).
