bitbake-user-manual: Added BBMULTICONFIG support
The BBMULTICONFIG variable is a variable used for BitBake and was
not documented in the BitBake Manual glossary. I added the
definition. I also added the variable to the example in the section
describing how to execute builds for multiple configurations.
