ref-manual: Updated the RDEPENDS variable description.
Fixes [YOCTO #10445]
Pointed out that the EXTENDPKGV variable is hard to locate in the
BB manual. Firstly, we don't document that variable in the
BB manual.... maybe we should. For the ref-manual, however, it is
barely referenced in a side example from the dev-manual. So, I
updated the RDEPENDS variable to have a "Tip" box in the area where
it is shown how to use the package version as part of the RDEPENDs
variable.
