bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Updated inherit and INHERIT sections
Fixes [YOCTO #12031]
Moved an inappropriate example from the bottom of the INHERIT
Configuration Directive section up into the inherit directive
section.
Updated the example at the end of the INHERIT Configuration
Directive section to apply to INHERIT.
