Applied the comprehensive set of review comments from Richard
Purdie. All files affected. One major point here was that the
"BitBake Command" chapter was eliminated. This information was
folded into various areas of the book. Consequently, the bits
including the file for make had to be updated.

I took Bill's chapter and made it into an appendix. I did some
re-writing to make it not so much like a getting-started feel,
although it still leans way that way for an appendix. The content
is not complete.
Had to add in a line to the user-manual.xml file so that the
new appendix would be part of the book.
Had to use a different form of the command in the
user-manual-cusomization.xsl file in order to not through a bunch
of errors for an unrecognized parameter value. I commented out
the existing one.

Changed the title of the chapter to "Syntax and Operators". It
was called "Metadata".
Removed the bulk the "Checksums (Signatures)" section and the
placeholder for "Setscene". These are now in the "Execution"
chapter.
Created a more appropriate overview blurb to start the chapter.

This is a rough draft of the chapter. Major sections are in
place. We need to scrub content now.
Seems like the discussion of BBFILES fit better in this
execution flow chapter. So, I moved it above the parsing
section.

This commit added need files, cleaned up bogus links, and
adjusted the build file, which is user-manual.xml.
The new chapter file is "user-manual-execution.xml". The file
has base text from the bitbake section from the "Closer Look"
chapter of the YP ref-manual. This means that I had to initially
include some figures from that book for now. I am not including
them as part of this commit though as they will likely get renamed.
I made sure that all links were removed that were specific to the
YP ref-manual.
Another change was in the user-manual.xml file to include
the new chapter as part of the build.
Another block of text for the new chapter was the "Running a Task"
section from the user-manual-metadata.xml file. Consequently, that
section was deleted from the "Metafile" chapter.
Another block of text for the new chapter was the "Parsing
and Execution" section from the user-manual-metadata.xml file.
Consequently, that section was deleted from the "Metafile chapter.
