Fixes [YOCTO #12370]
Added a new chapter to the newly created Yocto Project Overview
Manual. This chapter originated from the YP Reference Manual and
was the old chapter 3, which talked a lot about various concepts.
This information is better suited for the new overview manual.
The change involved moving the entire chapter and renaming it.
This move of the content affected many, many external references
and links into the old area. Consequently, I had to recast all
these links from the different manual.
Changes also included fixing the mega-manual.xml file so that it
would include the new overview manual as part of it.
Many figures had to be relocated as part of the move as well. This
meant deleting them from the ref-manual/figures folder and putting
them into the overview-manual/figures folder.

Bare clone setup is no longer recommended or necessary for
traditional kernel development. All that is required is to
clone the kernel Git repo locally.

A work-in-progress of an example that modifies the kernel
using the devtool. The procedure is not complete yet as it
does not run properly.

The end of this section did not direct the user to the next
logical step for preparing a development host. I added a
paragraph to guide the user to the next area they would need
to read based on their development methods.

The dev-manual had a place-holder section for getting the
build host ready for using YP and then doing kernel
development. This stuff is better suited for the actual
kernel development manual. I moved the section. Moving
created several broken links in the manual set that had to
be fixed.
In the dev-manual, I updated the introductory list to include
the newly moved kernel stuff.

Moved the "Patching the Kernel" section, which was in the
dev-manual to the kernel-dev manual. During the move,
renamed the section to "Using devtool to Patch the Kernel".
This move bothered a lot of links so I had to fix them in
various manuals.

I did some rewriting for clarity in the "Using .bbappend Files
in Your Layer" section. The section needed to be retitled so
focus on the layer aspect of .bbappend files. Also, while I
was in there, I did more work on the prose in general.
Also had to fix some links in the bsp, kernel, and ref manuals
that linked into the section whose name I changes.

Fixes [YOCTO #11630]
The section on the devtool workflow in the dev-manual was 99%
identical to what was in the sdk-manual. I have moved the
workflow procedure from the old "Model" chapter of the dev-manual
to be merged with what was in the sdk-manual. In truth, the
only things added were a note about devtool not being exclusive
to SDK development.
The result of moving (deleting) this section was that the "model"
chapter of the dev-manual went away. The devtool stuff, Quilt,
devshell, and python shell are all out now and there is no
chapter left. So, mega-manual had to be adjusted to not pull that
chapter in when building the dev-manual. I had to delete three
figures that were used in the flow. The figures were already
replicated in the sdk-manual. The figures were deleted from the
figures folder of both the dev-manual and the mega-manual.
I had to make sure all references to the old devtool stuf in the
YP doc set were adjusted.

The overview section of modifying the kernel needed to be in the
kernel-dev manual and not in the dev-manual. I moved it and took
care of all the links and external references throughout the YP
doc set. One figure was involved that had to be moved to the figures
folder in kernel-dev from dev-manual. That is why the Makefile had
to be edited.

Appendix A of the kernel-dev had a subsection dedicated to just
saying Git was the SCM used by the YP team for development. Having
this information in a dedicated section was overkill. The information
is better as an "aside". I put the stuff in a note.

The information in the dev-manual kernel overview area really neeeds
to be in the Appendix on kernel structure in the kernel-dev manual.
I moved that informtaion to the appendix. Removal of one redundant
image was necessary from the dev-manual. The figure was literally
repeated in the kernel manual already under a different file name.

I took the Yocto Linux kernel overview list of kernels out of the
dev-manual and moved them to the "Yocto Project Kernel Development

This is a much more logical area to introduce this type of Yocto
Linux kernel information.
