2024-03-14manuals: document VIRTUAL-RUNTIME variablescontrib/nanbield-nextMichael Opdenacker

2024-03-14ref-manual: variables: correct sdk installation default pathJohan Bezem
The SDKPATH variable seems mistakenly identified as the default path where the SDK will be installed by the generated installation script, unless option '-d' or a manual input overrides this default. The intended variable is SDKPATHINSTALL. SDKPATH indicates where the SDK is being composed and built. The definitions have been added/updated.

2024-03-14ref-manual: tasks: do_cleanall: recommend using '-f' insteadLuca Ceresoli
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.

2024-02-27manuals: suppress excess use of "following" wordMichael Opdenacker
To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are" by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural. In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx" by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at the end of the sentence. In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when it's redundant with the preceding title. Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@bootlin.com> CC: Daniel Ammann <daniel.ammann@bytesatwork.ch> --- Changes in V2: - Further simplication of some "Here are" and "Here is" statements as suggested by Daniel Ammann <daniel.ammann@bytesatwork.ch> - Remove some sentences which were just repeating the preceding title.
