ref-manual: Updated PROVIDES and FILES variable descriptions 

Fixes [YOCTO #10094]

For PROVIDES, I added information about how the do_package
task goes through PACKAGES and uses the FILES variable
corresponding to each package to assign files to the package.

For FILES, I added a blurb to the existing note how you can
find default values for the FILES* variables.

(From yocto-docs rev: c70f79a608076c5c0490918b87986554bc5d8353)
