The package splitting section of the overview manual currently lacks any
explanation of how package splitting is implemented and redirects to
the package class, which is not really understandable for newcomers to
the project.
This patch adds a short explanation of what is done:
* How the PACKAGES variable is defined.
* How the FILES variable is defined.
* How the two work together.
* How to add a custom package.
This should give enough details to a new user on what package splitting
achieves and how to add a custom package.

The SDKPATH variable seems mistakenly identified as the
default path where the SDK will be installed by the generated
installation script, unless option '-d' or a manual input
overrides this default.
The intended variable is SDKPATHINSTALL. SDKPATH indicates
where the SDK is being composed and built.
The definitions have been added/updated.

To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are"
by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural.
In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx"
by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at
the end of the sentence.
In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when
it's redundant with the preceding title.

The VSCode extension is now officially maintained and published by the
Yocto Project so it should be referenced in the manuals to help users
discover it.
I located the most relevant places to reference the extension by looking
at how the old Eclipse plugin was documented in the 2.6 manuals as well
as the current Toaster references.

note might distract from the narrative of that entry.
* Also trim the IMAGE_CLASSES entry which was quite outdated.
* INHERIT += no longer works with testimage so drop the note about that

The removed text seemed to suggest to use conf/site.conf to specify

Another issue was that the way to override conf/site.conf settings
through conf/local.conf was described before explaining that
conf/site.conf is processed before conf/local.conf.
