dev/ref-manual: Document INIT_MANAGER

Browse Source 
The INIT_MANAGER variable was added in 3.0 but it seems we didn't get
around to documenting it yet. I have added a variable glossary entry and
made the basic adjustment of the "Using systemd Exclusively" section in
the dev manual, however I think the latter section still needs work.

Using systemd Exclusively
=========================
Set these variables in your distribution configuration file as follows::
Set the :term:`INIT_MANAGER` variable in your distribution configuration
file as follows::
DISTRO_FEATURES:append = " systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
INIT_MANAGER = "systemd"
You can also prevent the SysVinit distribution feature from
being automatically enabled as follows::
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = "sysvinit"
Doing so removes any
redundant SysVinit scripts.
To remove initscripts from your image altogether, set this variable
also::
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = ""
For information on the backfill variable, see
:term:`DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED`.
This will enable systemd and remove sysvinit components from the image.
See ``meta/conf/distro/include/init-manager-systemd.inc`` for exact
details on what this does.
