dev-manual: Added section on bmap-tool to flash images
Fixes [YOCTO #10621] bmaptool is integrated into the OpenEmbedded build system but is not documented. I added a new section describing how to flash an image to media using the tool. Also, updated a small section in the Wic part of the manual that used "dd" to flash an example. I added a bmaptool counterpart here and referenced the reader back to the main new section.
