ref-manual: Rewrite of "Image Generation" and devtool text.

Rewrite of devtool reference section. This was a separate commit
but got squashed wrong so it ended up with this commit.

The changes to "Image Generation" section reflect the new, more
detailed image generation figure

Use the <filename>devtool extract</filename> command to

extracted.

Additional command options let you control the name of a
development branch into which you can checkout the source
and whether or not to keep a temporary directory, which is
useful for debugging.
