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.

The locations of the kernel .config file and source direcotry
moved a couple releases ago. Updated the documentation
accordingly.
Also added a note explaining how to check the expansion of
variables, which servs a couple of purposes:
* For curious readers, shows them how to understand where
these variables come from and how they are used.
* For suspicious readers, shows them how they can verify that
the variables in the documentation are actually correct.
