ref-manual: Edits to the "Images" section.
Added detailed requirements for the three LSB type images in order for the build to create an LSB-compliant image. Massaged the weston image a bit.

- <tip>
- From the Yocto Project release 1.1 onwards, <filename>-live</filename> and
- <filename>-directdisk</filename> images have been replaced by a "live"
- option in <filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename> that will work with any image to produce an
- image file that can be
- copied directly to a CD or USB device and run as is.
- To build a live image, simply add
- "live" to <filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename> within the <filename>local.conf</filename>
- file or wherever appropriate and then build the desired image as normal.
