Looked for, updated, and added (if necessary) the following
variables:
* ROOTFS_PREPROCESS_COMMAND
* ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND
* SDK_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND
* POPULATE_SDK_POST_TARGET_COMMAND
* POPULATE_SDK_POST_HOST_COMMAND,
* IMAGE_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND
* IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND
* ROOTFS_POSTUNINSTALL_COMMAND
* ROOTFS_POSTINSTALL_COMMAND
Each of these variables no longer accepts arbitrary shell commands but
rather functions. The wordings now support that behavior.
Also, updated the migration section for going to 1.6 release to note

I added a short note to the start of the "Debugging Parallel Make

I added some more detail to these two variables. The system sets
them according to the perceived number of cores. These default
setting are cool for single socket systems. However, if you
have some big system with a lot of physical CPUs, you might want
to cap off the values at 20. This is according to Darren Hart.
I also put in some cross-references to the "Speeding Up the Build"
section.

In response to community input where developers were attempting to
locate information on how to write packages out to a directory
other than ${DEPLOY_DIR}/<package_type>, I updated the "Package
Feeds" section, added several new DEPLOY_DIR_* variables, updated
four classes, and updated four tasks. Here are some details:
* Made changes to the "Package Feeds" section to provide more
accurate information in the package feeds directory structure
used by the build system in build/tmp. These changes included
updating the figure itself and some explanatory text.
* Updated the DEPLOY_DIR variable description.
* Added new variable descriptions for DEPLOY_DIR_DEB, DEPLOY_DIR_IPK,
DEPLOY_DIR_RPM, and DEPLOY_DIR_TAR.
* Updated the related classes: package_deb, package_ipk, package_rpm,
and package_tar.
* Updated the related tasks: do_package_write_deb, do_package_write_ipk,
do_package_write_rpm, and do_package_write_tar.

of this variable. It is basically ignored now in all parts of the
manual set except for the descriptions of the variable itself
and the BBLAYERS variable. I added some text reinforcing the fact
that BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE is ignored by the build system and only
matters if you are using Hob.

Discovered that the solution I had to display a small PNG file
to indicate the context a variable is used in the build system
was not displaying properly in the ref-manual variable glossary
when using the Chrome browser. The solution was to adjust some
settings in the CSS file and place the image after the term.
This allowed me to dump the webkit stuff that I had inserted
into the CSS file styles to make it work in Mozilla, which
ended up not working in Chrome.
Additionally, I needed to update the 'define-generic.png' file to
have less white space on top as part of the figure. Note that
this commit adds the figure to Git for tracking as well.
