I created a new section titled "Modifying Variable Values" that
provides instruction on how to use the "bitbake -e" command to
be sure your configuration and variable values are as expected.

The bug was to get the BitBake User Manual into the YP Mega-manual.
All the changes here create unique tags used with variables in the
BitBake Manual. Prior to the fix, tags were identical between like
variables in the YP reference manual and the BitBake User Manual.
The reason for this is because when I created the BitBake manual's
glossary, it was a cut-and-paste operation to get the bulk of
the work started. At the time, the BitBake User Manual was not
a part of the Mega-manual. Once we decided to include the
BitBake User Manual as part of the Mega-Manual, building the
mega-manual produced warnings for all these duplicate links.
To fix, I have updated the variable tags in the BitBake User
Manual to use the following form:
'var-bb-<variable_name>'
The tags used in the YP ref-manual follow this form (original):
'var-<variable_name>'

Rendering the manual to its HTML form was collapsing the two
leading and four trailing whitespace characters into single
whitespace characters. I inserted multiple " " strings
to force the spacing to come through.

We have some slightly odd behaviours with the current implementation of
_remove operations. For example:
TEST = " A B"
TEST_remove = "C"
would trigger TEST to become "A B" even thought it doesn't contain "C".
In particular, this means that an inactive remove operator added in a
bbappend could change the task checksum which is not desireable.
Fix the operation to preserve whitespace, adding new tests to make this
explict and test further corner cases. Also update the manual to match.

default in bitbake, that default is set in OE-Core. We can keep this in the YP
ref manual but in the bitbake manual that sentence should be removed.

The package-depends.dot and pn-depends.dot files are inaccurate,
missing out key dependencies such those made via the [depends]
flags. As such they can be misleading to the user.
They mainly exist for historical reasons, coming from a time
before we had task based execution.
This commit removes the two dated file formats and replaces
them with a recipe-depends.dot which is a flattened version
of task-depends.dot.
The old format files are removed if present so that the user
can't get confused about why data might not match between files.
The code is also rewritten to use 'with f: f.write()' syntax as
is more commonly used now. Also update the docs to match the change.
