2017-01-11dev-manual: Fixed "recipetool create" exampleMartin Vuille
Fixes [YOCTO #10763] The final example in the section describing how to create the base recipe using receipetool create was wrong. I updated it to use the -d option in addition to the -o opetion. I also changed the description to match appropriately.

2017-01-11dev-manual, ref-manual: Created new section on initramfsScott Rifenbark
Fixes [YOCTO #7096] We did not document how to create an initramfs image to be included with a kernel build. Various variables sort of inferred the knowledge. I created a new section in the "Common Tasks" section of the dev-manual that describes how to create an initramfs image. Also, I updated the kernel.bbclass reference section to point back to the new "how-to" section. Finally, I also created a bunch of cross-reference links from various related variables back to the new "how-to" section.
