documentation/dev-manual: Added anchor point and edits to kernel config 

I added a reference anchor to the spot in the dev-manual for the
"Yocto Project Source Repositories".

Other changes were to the bsp guide and were general edits to the
"Linux Kernel Configuration" section.

(From yocto-docs rev: def35923199d48c879ff06a68f81b5cd28d55185)
