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 "Yocto Project Source Repositories" section is purely conceptual
and thus does not belong in the reconstituted dev-manual, which is
converting to a "how-to" manual. I have moved this section to the
ref-manual under "The Yocto Project Development Environment" section.
Moving the section affected several things. Three figures that where
in the dev-manual were copied and moved to the figures folder of the
ref-manual. This required deleting them from the dev-manual and
adding them to the ref-manual.
The makefile had to be edited to move those figures into the ref-manual
and delete them from the latest version of the dev-manual in order for
the tarball of files to be correct when the manuals are made.
Links to anchors within the moved section had to be fixed in various
manuals. Links to the main section "id" had to be fixed to point
to the ref-manual manual.
