made the basic adjustment of the "Using systemd Exclusively" section in
the dev manual, however I think the latter section still needs work.

IMAGE_MACHINE_SUFFIX is a new variable in 4.2, and there were some
associated changes to how IMAGE_NAME, IMAGE_LINK_NAME,
INITRAMFS_IMAGE_NAME and KERNEL_ARTIFACT_NAME are set by default. As a
result, instead of repeating how KERNEL_ARTIFACT_NAME is set by default,
let's just direct people to the entry for that variable so we only have
to update one place.
At the same time I noticed INITRAMFS_IMAGE_NAME was not documented at
all, so add that in.
