kernel-dev: Added "-dirty String" section. 

The "-dirty" String section from the old YP Kernel Architecture
and Use Manual was moved to section 2.3 of the manual.  It needs
to find the right area to be put in (AR for Darren).  I added the
AR text to the top of the section so it would not fall through
the cracks.

(From yocto-docs rev: eaa5b86643572a6c74028dc3330625a0bfbca50e)

<emphasis>AR - Darrren Hart:</emphasis> This section
originated from the old Yocto Project Kernel Architecture
and Use Manual.
It was decided we need to put it in this section here.
Darren needs to figure out where we want it and what part
of it we want (all, revision???)

If kernel images are being built with "-dirty" on the
end of the version string, this simply means that
modifications in the source directory have not been committed.

$ git status

You can use the above Git command to report modified,
removed, or added files.
You should commit those changes to the tree regardless of
whether they will be saved, exported, or used.
Once you commit the changes, you need to rebuild the kernel.
