* Since scarthgap [1], the default will be overridden when using
'systemd' as INIT_MANAGER. Reflect this in the documentation.
* The distro configuration is probably the better place for
customization, thus at least mention this together with the
local.conf.
* While at it, drop the probably redundant description on how to
override weak default variables.
The example on how to set "/root" is still given indirectly, anyway.

This patch is a simple bulk move, except for the following:
- Intro added to the devtool.rst document (mostly copy-pasted from the
devtool quick reference in the ref-manual).
- Figures renamed to remove "sdk-" from filenames.
- References to sdk-manual/extensible replaced by dev-manual/devtool.

Document these methods, and begin with the preferred approach which is
to edit ~/.netrc appropriately. When that is not possible, specifying

We no longer provide this feature, so remove documentation for it. In
most cases, we can replace occurrences of "debug-tweaks" by
"allow-empty-password empty-root-password allow-root-login
post-install-logging" to achieve what this feature previously enabled.
Subtle, but the default local.conf does not include
post-install-logging, so in parts where there is mention of the default
local.conf file, adjust the documentation to only mention the first
three above.
In the intro manual, instead of providing instructions that replace
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES entirely, provide ones that append
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES.

The variable SRCPV is deprecated since 4.3. Instead of including SRCPV
in PV, including the sign "+" is enough for bitbake to add the source
control information to PKGV during the packaging phase.
Update the documentation for SRCPV and the places where it was used.
When instructions previously referred to SRCPV, replace by mentioning to
include "+" in the assignment.
In most examples, "+git" is added to PV as it is the most popular SCM.
Simply adding "+" is also possible, although it is better practice to
include the SCM name, so give that example.
Update the gcompat example with l3afpad as it didn't include "+git" in
its PV definition anymore.
