Scott Rifenbark d4cd787e08 yocto-project-qs, ref-manual: Removed Python 3.0 exclusion
Fixes [YOCTO #10178]

Previously, YP did not support Python 3.0.  We mentioned that
in the manual in several places as a requirement for running YP.
I removed this exclusion in the following areas:

 * yocto-project-qs - the section that tells what version of
   Python you need.

 * ref-manual - the section that tells what version of Python
   you need.

 * ref-manual - the FAQ entry about not having the right version
   of Python.

Fixes [YOCTO #8620]

I went through and made some judgement calls on the use of
"native" and "sdknative".  I tried to make sure that the reader
understood the real meaning of these terms.

Scott Rifenbark ef959e61c4 ref-manual: Added "leakage" FAQ entry.
Fixes [YOCTO #6852]

I added a new FAQ entry to address situations where during a
native build, the build fails due to previously installed stuff
on the system from /usr/local/include and /opt.  The entry
tries to cover "leakage" issues in general but calls out the
specific case involving libiconv and iconv.h.

Scott Rifenbark 2eaf7e6e75 ref-manual: Scrubbed for variable (user) input.
Throughout the manual I had been using angled bracket sets to
denote user-supplied input.  This is confusing and better shown
by using the <replaceable></replaceable> tags.  I scrubbed all
the chapters and replaced as needed.

Some other minor formatting changes were caught and fixed during
the scrub as well.

The changes in the FAQ and in the QS are basically notes that point
to that section for more information.

Scott Rifenbark a266619317 documentation: Added the memory-resident BitBake feature
The main changes are captured in a new section devoted to the
oe-init-build-env-memres script within the ref-structure.xml
file and in the variables.xml file in a BBSERVER variable entry
in the glossary.

All other changes were necessary to integrate the new functionality
into areas where running the setup script are discussed.  Before
this feature, there was a single setup script (oe-init-build-env).
Consequently, wordings and such were designed exclusively for this
single method.  With the introduction of a second possible method
to initialize the build environment, tweaks to many sections were
needed.  Beside the wording tweaks, appropriate cross-referencing
was also needed.

All these changes cover the integration of the new feature.

Scott Rifenbark ed0a240e16 documentation: Rename of poky-ref-manual folder to ref-manual.
Changing the folder that holds the YP Reference Manual to be
