ref-manual: New section on patching for expanded build process
Fixes [YOCTO #2808]
Added a new sub-section to the BitBake section that takes a
closer look at the build process. Part of the requirements
was a new figure that had to be added to both the ref-manual
and the mega-manual figures directories.
