documentation: poky-ref-manual, dev-manual - added link to oe-core
* Explain that we test with a set of reference hardware rather than only supporting hardware that we have (avoiding any implication that the build system can't support other devices). These are in the faq entry in the poky-ref-manual for the question of how we can claim Poky / OpenEmbedded-Core is stable. * Adjust the language so that it is OE-Core friendly, with a link to the Development Manual for the definition of OE-Core.
