The description had gone stale and was referencing a linux
yocto kernel we don't support and BSPs we don't support. Updated
it.

This section was largely redundant now. The small things that did
add value I placed in other areas of the chapter 2. One was a new
section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit
about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create
config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained.
Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well.

Recently a number of changes have happened on the implementation
side of some image formats, and a few have been renamed.
The u-boot image signing code is now always available and no
longer in a stand-alone file. The vmdk/mdi/qcow2 images have
been removed and are now just a conversion type that is applied
to wic images.
