Subject: bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Updated dependency section for tasks

Fixes [YOCTO #9861]

I updated the section on dependencies to give a couple of examples
for task dependencies within a single recipe and dependencies for
tasks between two individual recipes.

(Bitbake rev: 231deeb2b0b3847cba971ca30c16e29357100ae6)

+            To allow for efficient parallel processing, BitBake handles
+            dependencies at the task level.
+            Dependencies can exist both between tasks within a single recipe
+            and between tasks in different recipes.
+            Following are examples of each:

+                    recipe's <filename>do_configure</filename>
+                    task might need to complete before its
+                    <filename>do_compile</filename> task can run.
+                    </para></listitem>

+                    recipe's <filename>do_configure</filename>
+                    task might require another recipe's
+                    <filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename>
+                    task to finish first such that the libraries and headers
+                    provided by the other recipe are available.

+             are all simply dependencies between tasks.
