documentation: poky-ref-manual - New backfill variables and section.

Browse Source 
Document DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL and MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL. We may
wish to expand upon this in future, but at least this explains what
these variables are for and how to use them.

Also add a link from the DISTRO_FEATURES entry to the section that lists
valid DISTRO_FEATURES items.

(From yocto-docs rev: 018af5c28b44464ae66646780ade910bdcab2bef)
