ref-manual: Rewrite of "Image Generation" and devtool text.
Rewrite of devtool reference section. This was a separate commit but got squashed wrong so it ended up with this commit. The changes to "Image Generation" section reflect the new, more detailed image generation figure (From yocto-docs rev: 827c6872b88c17d2d0c8d44b1024fff19076e505) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
