ref-manual: New section clarifying stamps, input checksums and sstate cache

Fixes [YOCTO #10172]

I added a new section on how BitBake reruns tasks based on the
stamps files.  Also put in some cross-referencing links to that
new section in the stamps entry for the structure chapter and in
the STAMP variable in the glossary.
