dev-manual: Added section on bmap-tool to flash images
Fixes [YOCTO #10621]
bmaptool is integrated into the OpenEmbedded build system but is
not documented. I added a new section describing how to flash an
image to media using the tool. Also, updated a small section in the
Wic part of the manual that used "dd" to flash an example. I added
a bmaptool counterpart here and referenced the reader back to the
main new section.
