dev-manual, kernel-dev, ref-manual: Updated task name usage.

Browse Source 
There was inconsistency on how we refer to a task name throughout
the YP manual set.  The proper way is "do_<taskname>".  Some
occurrences did not include the "do_" prefix.  These have been
fixed.

Any given package consists of a set of tasks.
The standard BitBake behavior in most cases is: <filename>fetch</filename>,
<filename>unpack</filename>,
<filename>patch</filename>, <filename>configure</filename>,
<filename>compile</filename>, <filename>install</filename>, <filename>package</filename>,
<filename>package_write</filename>, and <filename>build</filename>.
The default task is <filename>build</filename> and any tasks on which it depends
build first.
Some tasks, such as <filename>devshell</filename>, are not part of the
default build chain.
If you wish to run a task that is not part of the default build chain, you can use the
<filename>-c</filename> option in BitBake.

This sequence first builds and then recompiles

The last command reruns all tasks (basically the packaging tasks) after the compile.
BitBake recognizes that the <filename>compile</filename> task was rerun and therefore
understands that the other tasks also need to be run again.
