ref-manual: Added KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME change to 2.2 migration 

The fact that the OpenEmbedded build system can now build
multiple image types caused the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable
to have the KERNEL_IMAGETYPE portion removed.  This could cause
existing recipes that use the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable
directly issues.  I added a section indicating that the user
should address those recipes to avoid problems.

(From yocto-docs rev: c433fca3840440c14bb364a51afc5c3c2bfc7c88)

<para>
The
<link linkend='var-KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME'><filename>KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME</filename></link>
variable no longer uses the
<link linkend='var-KERNEL_IMAGETYPE'><filename>KERNEL_IMAGETYPE</filename></link>
variable to create the image's base name.
Because the OpenEmbedded build system can now build multiple kernel
image types, this part of the kernel image base name as been
removed leaving only the following:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME ?= "${PKGE}-${PKGV}-${PKGR}-${MACHINE}-${DATETIME}
</literallayout>
If you have recipes or classes that use
<filename>KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME</filename> directly, you might
need to update the references to ensure they continue to work.
