d720994f02 ref-manual/packages: move ptest section to the test-manual
[ YOCTO #15106 ]

It makes more sense to document ptests in the test-manual. Since ptests
are still related to packages, keep a link to ptests from packages.rst
to the test-manual.

abef9b08dc Remove debug-tweaks references
We no longer provide this feature, so remove documentation for it. In
most cases, we can replace occurrences of "debug-tweaks" by
"allow-empty-password empty-root-password allow-root-login
post-install-logging" to achieve what this feature previously enabled.

Subtle, but the default local.conf does not include
post-install-logging, so in parts where there is mention of the default
local.conf file, adjust the documentation to only mention the first
three above.

In the intro manual, instead of providing instructions that replace
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES entirely, provide ones that append
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES.

025386d53c manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word
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.

Add missing IMAGE_FEATURES, DISTRO_FEATURES and MACHINE_FEATURES items.
Additionally, add a note that DISTRO_FEATURES doesn't have any impact on
the kernel configuration so that users are aware they have to take care
of that as well. (I thought the same was true of MACHINE_FEATURES, but
it seems we have a couple of isolated cases where that will adjust the
kernel configuration - few enough that I suspect they might have slipped
in and thus probably shouldn't be documented yet.)
