bmaptool is integrated into the OpenEmbedded build system but is
not documented. I added a new section describing how to flash an
image to media using the tool. Also, updated a small section in the
Wic part of the manual that used "dd" to flash an example. I added
a bmaptool counterpart here and referenced the reader back to the
main new section.

We did not document how to create an initramfs image to be included

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

Finally, I also created a bunch of cross-reference links from various
related variables back to the new "how-to" section.
