documentation: Moved "Yocto Project Source Repositories" section

Browse Source 
Fixes [YOCTO #11630]

The "Yocto Project Source Repositories" section is purely conceptual
and thus does not belong in the reconstituted dev-manual, which is
converting to a "how-to" manual.  I have moved this section to the
ref-manual under "The Yocto Project Development Environment" section.

Moving the section affected several things.  Three figures that where
in the dev-manual were copied and moved to the figures folder of the
ref-manual.  This required deleting them from the dev-manual and
adding them to the ref-manual.

The makefile had to be edited to move those figures into the ref-manual
and delete them from the latest version of the dev-manual in order for
the tarball of files to be correct when the manuals are made.

Links to anchors within the moved section had to be fixed in various
manuals.  Links to the main section "id" had to be fixed to point
to the ref-manual manual.

The Yocto Project team maintains complete source repositories for all
Yocto Project files at

This web-based source code browser is organized into categories by
function such as IDE Plugins, Matchbox, Poky, Yocto Linux Kernel, and
so forth.
From the interface, you can click on any particular item in the "Name"
column and see the URL at the bottom of the page that you need to clone
a Git repository for that particular item.
Having a local Git repository of the
<link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>, which is
usually named "poky", allows
you to make changes, contribute to the history, and ultimately enhance
the Yocto Project's tools, Board Support Packages, and so forth.

For any supported release of Yocto Project, you can also go to the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;'>Yocto Project Website</ulink> and
select the "Downloads" tab and get a released tarball of the

Unpacking these tarballs gives you a snapshot of the released
files.
