Fixes [YOCTO #10818]
There is a weird and intermittant error that can occur on any given
distribution that has a 4.3+ Linux kernel and a version 228+ systemd.
The error happens during an initial build of an image and indicates
that resources are unavailable. Investigation determines that
resources are available. The combination of the kernel and the
systemd in a distro is causing issues when a distro is upgraded.
yocto-project-qs:
I added a note in the two areas where the user is stepped through
the bitbake process to build an image. The note mentions the
possibility of the error, the host configuration situation, and a
couple work-arounds, which are to reboot the machine or to set the
"DefaultTaskMax" systemd parameter to "infinity".
ref-manual:
Added the same note in the "Building an Image" section.

Also, I updated the kernel.bbclass reference section to point back

Finally, I also created a bunch of cross-reference links from various

This fix essentially had to document how to add the API
documentation to the standard SDK. The fix required adding a
new appendix to the SDK manual on how to customize that
standard SDK. I could not put just one topic in a new appendix
so I also added a sub-section on how to add indidual packages
to the standard SDK.
Other changes here were the introduction of a new file for the new
appendix, updated the mega-manual.xml file so that it would include
the new chapter when the MM was built. Finally, I added some
cross-referencing to the new appendix from the TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK
and TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK variables. And a cross reference from the
distro features section on the api-documentation bullet.
