Removing the Appendix A (BSP) example had some rippling affects
throughout the doc set. There were several links into the appendix.
All these links had to either be modified (if possible) or simply
removed since the appendix will be removed.

* Explain that we test with a set of reference hardware rather than only
supporting hardware that we have (avoiding any implication that the
build system can't support other devices). These are in the
faq entry in the poky-ref-manual for the question of how we can
claim Poky / OpenEmbedded-Core is stable.
* Adjust the language so that it is OE-Core friendly, with a link to
the Development Manual for the definition of OE-Core.

For 1.3 there is not longer a toolchain tarball. Instead, there
is a wrapper script that lets you install the tarball. This
fundamental usage model change caused several ripples throughout
the documentation set. I have changed wordings and examples
to reflect the new paradigm.

Robert P. J. Day pointed out a link in the development manual that
was for the BitBake User Manual. The link resolved to an old,
non-maintained version of BitBake documentation. According to
Richard Purdie, the BitBake docs referenced should be the ones
that ship in the bitbake/doc/manual directory of poky. The
YP docs had been using a variable named BITBAKE_DOCS_URL that
also resolved to the antiquated user manual site. Consequently,
there were many links that needed fixed across both the YP
Development Manual and the YP Reference Manual. Each of these
references now points in general to the bitbake/doc/manual
directory in poky for more information.

The example that creates a local branch based on a release tag
in the "Repositories, Tags, and Branches" section was not optimal.
Darren Hart informed me that naming a local branch the same name
as a tag confuses Git. Plus, the "-b" option was mis-placed.
Renamed the local branch to have "my-" in front of it and moved
the "-b" option earlier in the command.
