documentation: poky-ref-manual, dev-manual - deveshell handling

Fixes [YOCTO #2909]

Updated the "Using a Development Shell" in the dev-manual to note
that the OE_TERMINAL variable is the thing that controls what
terminal is spawned.  Added a reference into the new
variable description.

In the poky-ref-manual, I created a new glossary description for
the OE_TERMINAL variable.

This command spawns a terminal with a shell prompt within the OpenEmbedded build environment.
The <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-OE_TERMINAL'><filename>OE_TERMINAL</filename></ulink>
controls what type of shell is opened.
You can define the variable in the <filename>conf/local.conf</filename>

Current available terminals are:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
auto
gnome
xfce
rxvt
screen
konsole (KDE 3.x only)
none
</literallayout>
The default terminal type is "auto" and causes
the OpenEmbedded build system to attempt to spawn terminals in a
priority order until one is found that is available on the host
development system.
For the case of an X terminal, <filename>DISPLAY</filename> must also
be defined.

<para>
If <filename>OE_TERMINAL</filename> is set to "none", the system
never spawns a terminal under any circumstances.
Use this setting when you are doing automated builds.
