documentation: Changes to Paul Eggleton's edits for various manuals.

Browse Source 
Paul sent me a bunch of minor edits and technical corrections
for the ADT, BSP, Development, and YP reference manual.
Most changes were taken as he submitted them.  However, some
formatting conventions were not followed in the commits he made
to yocto-docs/paule/docs2.  After merging them to my yocto-docs/master
branch I fixed some issues.

(From yocto-docs rev: 93f4ea2dee976448f623953e801a80d59736450a)
