documentation: remove all references to Hob

Hob and the packageinfo class have now been removed from the
code base. This patch removes all references to:

* Hob
* meta-hob
* packageinfo and
* BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE

from the documentation.

So long, Hob, and thanks for all the fish.

<title>Image Development Using Hob</title>
<para>
The <ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;/tools-resources/projects/hob'>Hob</ulink> is a graphical user interface for the
OpenEmbedded build system, which is based on BitBake.
You can use the Hob to build custom operating system images within the Yocto Project build environment.
Hob simply provides a friendly interface over the build system used during development.
In other words, building images with the Hob lets you take care of common build tasks more easily.
