I added more information about how BitBake actually runs a task.
The information has to do with how tightly BB controls the execution
environment of the build tasks to prevent contamination from the
build machine from leaking into the task execution environment.
This tight control actually causes some unexpected behavior during
builds. For example, when a user exports and BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE
an environment item such as CCACHE_DIR, the effects of the environment
item never make it to the BB task execution environment. They only
make it to the data store. The user actually has to take some extra
steps to export that environment item into the task execution environment.
The added information I put into the "Running a Task" section describes
these extra steps.

Several manuals and areas were still referring to 'glibc' as the
GNU version of the Unix statndrd C library. We do not support this
any longer and now use 'eglibc' to build with. Notable changes were
in the required packages area of the QS manual. I also added a
bit in the reference guide saying how this release does not use
'glibc' to build with but rather 'eglibc'.

I swapped the Yocto Project for Poky throughout. Some other general
edits were done. I put in a reference to a spot to learn how to best
set the BB_NUMBER_THREADS variable.

I got rid of the <filename class='directory'...> and
<filename class='extension'...> and replaced with simple
<filename>/</filename> pairs.

In section B.1 (Parsing) it said that BBFILES variable by default
specified the direcotyr 'meta/packages/' as the place to look for .bb
files. This directory is invalid and needed to be changed to
'meta/packages/'.

Section B.2 (Preferences and Providers) had a grammar error.

I replaced varname style with filename style. Looks better. We have
too many styles.

Cyril submitted a patch via email form for several spelling corrections. The master docs, however, are not up-to-date with what I have on my contrib area. Many of Cyril's corrections were already addressed. A few were not and I have updated them here with this commit.

There is inconsistent use of how BitBake is spelled. Sometimes it uses no capitalization, just a leading "B", or "BitBake". I looked at the BitBake manual and it seems that "BitBake" is the correct way to refer to it.
