Since the proper spelling is, in fact, 'BitBake', might as well make
it consistent throughout the user manual.

Fixes [YOCTO #12399]
The bug was to get the BitBake User Manual into the YP Mega-manual.
All the changes here create unique tags used with variables in the
BitBake Manual. Prior to the fix, tags were identical between like
variables in the YP reference manual and the BitBake User Manual.
The reason for this is because when I created the BitBake manual's
glossary, it was a cut-and-paste operation to get the bulk of
the work started. At the time, the BitBake User Manual was not
a part of the Mega-manual. Once we decided to include the
BitBake User Manual as part of the Mega-Manual, building the
mega-manual produced warnings for all these duplicate links.
To fix, I have updated the variable tags in the BitBake User
Manual to use the following form:
'var-bb-<variable_name>'
The tags used in the YP ref-manual follow this form (original):
'var-<variable_name>'

Applied some fixes to the variable wildcard support documentation
in the BitBake manual. Wording changes and changes to make links
referencing Python syntax go to version 3 rather than version 2.

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.

Added a new repo Fetcher section in the same spirit as the existing
sections for other supported fetchers. Changes included the new section,
removal of the bulleted item that mentioned this fetcher as an
"additional" fetcher, and the creation of a new variable in the glossary
named REPODIR.

Just discovered a minor issue in the bitbake manual - under the variable
glossary entry for BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR we say there's a default value of
${COREBASE} but that's not actually true in bitbake itself - there's no
default in bitbake, that default is set in OE-Core. We can keep this in the YP
ref manual but in the bitbake manual that sentence should be removed.

I updated the note in the second chapter that discusses the role for
BB_NUMBER_THREADS. The updates make it a bit clearer.
Also scrubbed the manual for instances of user-supplied values to check
how they are being formatted. I fixed the formatting to use the
<replaceable></replaceable> tags so they are in italics.

This manual gets combined with other manuals and in that context, it helps
a lot if its seen as the Bitbake User Manual. Renames are a pain but
this is worthwhile so that other docs can correctly be combined with this
one. This also clarifies things like google search results which is helpful.
