documentation: Added the memory-resident BitBake feature

Browse Source 
The main changes are captured in a new section devoted to the
oe-init-build-env-memres script within the ref-structure.xml
file and in the variables.xml file in a BBSERVER variable entry
in the glossary.

All other changes were necessary to integrate the new functionality
into areas where running the setup script are discussed.  Before
this feature, there was a single setup script (oe-init-build-env).
Consequently, wordings and such were designed exclusively for this
single method.  With the introduction of a second possible method
to initialize the build environment, tweaks to many sections were
needed.  Beside the wording tweaks, appropriate cross-referencing
was also needed.

All these changes cover the integration of the new feature.
