These have never been used in the BB manual and were an
artifact from copy-and-pasting the poky.ent file from
the main yocto-docs repo to this bb repo when the BB
manual was origially created. They are useless. I have
removed them.

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>'

We have some slightly odd behaviours with the current implementation of
_remove operations. For example:
TEST = " A B"
TEST_remove = "C"
would trigger TEST to become "A B" even thought it doesn't contain "C".
In particular, this means that an inactive remove operator added in a
bbappend could change the task checksum which is not desireable.
Fix the operation to preserve whitespace, adding new tests to make this
explict and test further corner cases. Also update the manual to match.

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.
