Added a new bullet as a tip for best practices that addresses
how we address bug 3071 and 3274. We are suggesting they enable
a PR Service if they are using continually incrementing PR values
when package feeds are published or used.

Added a bulleted list to the "Terms" section to help define
some toolchain recipes such as gcc-cross-initial,
gcc-cross-intermediate, and so forth.
Added a cross-reference link to the term
"Cross-Development Toolchain" in the the "Working Using
Stand-alone Cross-development Toolchains" section.
This gives the reader a way to see more on the toolchain
recipes.

Fixes [YOCTO #3274]
I have added a new area at the bottom of the current
"Using the Yocto Project in a Team Environment" section.
This section is the spot for addressing what Richard Purdie
coined as "How to use YP in a work group." For now, the
changes are based on the information that Richard placed in
the Bugzilla entry. Presumably we can build on this information.

* Explain that we test with a set of reference hardware rather than only
supporting hardware that we have (avoiding any implication that the
build system can't support other devices). These are in the
faq entry in the poky-ref-manual for the question of how we can
claim Poky / OpenEmbedded-Core is stable.
* Adjust the language so that it is OE-Core friendly, with a link to
the Development Manual for the definition of OE-Core.

For 1.3 there is not longer a toolchain tarball. Instead, there
is a wrapper script that lets you install the tarball. This
fundamental usage model change caused several ripples throughout

to reflect the new paradigm.

Robert P. J. Day pointed out a link in the development manual that
was for the BitBake User Manual. The link resolved to an old,
non-maintained version of BitBake documentation. According to
Richard Purdie, the BitBake docs referenced should be the ones
that ship in the bitbake/doc/manual directory of poky. The
YP docs had been using a variable named BITBAKE_DOCS_URL that
also resolved to the antiquated user manual site. Consequently,
there were many links that needed fixed across both the YP
Development Manual and the YP Reference Manual. Each of these
references now points in general to the bitbake/doc/manual
directory in poky for more information.
