kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Yocto Linux kernel overview

Browse Source 
Fixes [YOCTO #11630]

I took the Yocto Linux kernel overview list of kernels out of the
dev-manual and moved them to the "Yocto Project Kernel Development
and Maintenance" section in Appendix A of the kernel-dev manual.
This is a much more logical area to introduce this type of Yocto
Linux kernel information.

<title>Kernel Overview</title>
<para>
Traditionally, when one thinks of a patched kernel, they think of a base kernel
source tree and a fixed structure that contains kernel patches.
The Yocto Project, however, employs mechanisms that, in a sense, result in a kernel source
generator.
By the end of this section, this analogy will become clearer.

You can find a web interface to the Yocto Project kernel source repositories at
<ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;'></ulink>.
If you look at the interface, you will see to the left a grouping of
Git repositories titled "Yocto Linux Kernel."
Within this group, you will find several kernels supported by
the Yocto Project:

The kernels are maintained using the Git revision control system
that structures them using the familiar "tree", "branch", and "leaf" scheme.
