As suggested in a recent mail thread by Martin Jansa, there are cases in
which QEMU under KVM will crash because of CPU feature incompatibilities
between compiled binaries and the host CPU under which qemu is run.
Although this is hard to fully escape, we should document the issue to
help people work around it. I have taked Martin's suggested patch
and did some rewording for the new section.

The QEMU information in the ref-manual "using" chapter has been moved
to the dev-manual's chapter 5, which is a dedicated QEMU chapter.
Some information is reference and that is why I had it separated out
into the reference manual. However, pressures are mounting to get
that stuff out of the ref-manual and into the dev-manual. So, it
has been moved.

In Step 4 of the "Running QEMU" section, the file suffix
"*.vmdk" is mentioned. "vmdk" has essentially become "wic.vmdk"
now. I updated the example.

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.

Purged all occurrences of the "oe-init-build-env-memres" script
from the YP documentation set. Occurrences in a lot of places.
The BBSERVER variable was also impacted and had to have the
definition updated.

I converted the QEMU section to a procedure. Also took the

Cleaned up some areas in the QEMU conceptual section in the
ref-manual

Moving the "Yocto Project Terms" section from the dev-manual to the
ref-manual broke several links to the id "build-directory". I fixed
these to reference into the ref-manual now.

enablement and a new option was added to support the
old mode. Updated the list of runqemu command options.
