Luca Ceresoli 59b33ce497 ref-manual: tasks: do_cleanall: recommend using '-f' instead
do_cleanall can produce failures when used in legitimate cases, such as
with recipe variants (foo and foo-native) or a shared DL_DIR. This is why
it is forbidden when writing tests that will run on the autobuilders
(https://docs.yoctoproject.org/test-manual/intro.html?highlight=cleanall#considerations-when-writing-tests).

Reword the documentation to clearly discourage, provide a safe alternative
(bitbake -f -c fetch), and the rationale with an example.
