2016-08-18ref-manual: Various small corrections to package-related stuffScott Rifenbark
Fixes [YOCTO #10135] Some small problems were fixed: * Added a cross-reference in the FILES glossary entry to the PACKAGES variable. The two are tied and there was not a reference to it. * Removed a redundant "/" character in a pathname example in the dev-manual. * Removed a redundant "/" character in an example pathname in the FILES glossary description.

For FILES, I added a blurb to the existing note how you can find default values for the FILES* variables.
