dev-manual: Updated the "Enabling and Using the Tool" section
The send-error-report tool syntax has slightly changed since the documentation was written. Removed the [server] part of the command and added more detail on its use and results.

Enabling error reporting causes the build process to collect
the errors and store them in a file as previously described.
- When the build system encounters an error, it includes a command
- as part of the console output.
+ When the build system encounters an error, it includes a
+ command as part of the console output.
You can run the command to send the error file to the server.
- For example, the following command sends the errors to an upstream

<literallayout class='monospaced'>
- send-error-report /home/brandusa/project/poky/build/tmp/log/error-report/error_report_201403141617.txt [server]
