Fixes [YOCTO #10946]
Based on feedback, I made some minor rewrites to a sentence describing
when you need to use a different form to get BitBake to pick up
hierarchical data as kernel data.

Fixes [YOCTO #10946]
There was insufficient information in the combination of the
BSP Guide and the Kernel Development Manual on just how to locate
and use kernel metadata.
* bsp-guide - Removed the detailed append file example for the
kernel recipe. This is moved now to the chapter in the kernel
manual that describes append files.
* kernel-dev - Placed the example from the BSP Guide into the
section that describes kernel append files. Cleaned up some
terminology issues throughout chapter 3. Added information
about how BitBake picks up kernel metadata when the metadata
is in a hierarchical directory and not just a simple *.scc
file.

It seems that the two sections "Kernel Metadata Location" and
"Kernel Metadata Syntax" were flipped regarding their order of
apperance in the kernel-dev manual. I belive that syntax should
be first and then followed by a discussion on the location. I
have swapped these section's ordering in the manual.

Convention is to avoid using hyperlinks for variables that appear
in <literallayout>/</literallalyout> coded blocks. I removed the
links for the KERNEL_FEATURES and LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE variables,
which appeared in a literal block and put the links into the
context of the description.

I re-wrote the section to basically consider kernel metadata
coming from either inside the recipe (recipe-space) or from
outside the recipe, which would be like a "kernel-cache".
The re-write eliminated the term "in-tree" regarding where
kernel metadata could reside.

In the "Using Kernel Metadata in a Recipe" section, the example
called out "fri2" as an example BSP that shares the same KMACHINE.
This was true last release of meta-intel but is no longer true.
I used "emenlow" now as it seems to be like "fri2" was before
the "fido" release.

behind both types of branches. I have created a larger section
