The way to include tcf-agent now in an image that you are going to
remotely deploy and debug using the Eclipse IDE is to simply include
the eclipse-debug image feature as part of the image. I updated the
section around getting images to reflect this simple method.

Fixed [YOCTO #7632]
Looked for, updated, and added (if necessary) the following
variables:
* ROOTFS_PREPROCESS_COMMAND
* ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND
* SDK_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND
* POPULATE_SDK_POST_TARGET_COMMAND
* POPULATE_SDK_POST_HOST_COMMAND,
* IMAGE_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND
* IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND
* ROOTFS_POSTUNINSTALL_COMMAND
* ROOTFS_POSTINSTALL_COMMAND
Each of these variables no longer accepts arbitrary shell commands but
rather functions. The wordings now support that behavior.
Also, updated the migration section for going to 1.6 release to note
this change.

I added a short note to the start of the "Debugging Parallel Make

they can always do a work-around to set the PARALLEL_MAKE or
PARALLEL_MAKEINST variables to null.

I added some more detail to these two variables. The system sets
them according to the perceived number of cores. These default
setting are cool for single socket systems. However, if you
have some big system with a lot of physical CPUs, you might want
to cap off the values at 20. This is according to Darren Hart.
I also put in some cross-references to the "Speeding Up the Build"
section.

In response to community input where developers were attempting to
locate information on how to write packages out to a directory
other than ${DEPLOY_DIR}/<package_type>, I updated the "Package
Feeds" section, added several new DEPLOY_DIR_* variables, updated
four classes, and updated four tasks. Here are some details:
* Made changes to the "Package Feeds" section to provide more
accurate information in the package feeds directory structure
used by the build system in build/tmp. These changes included
updating the figure itself and some explanatory text.
* Updated the DEPLOY_DIR variable description.
* Added new variable descriptions for DEPLOY_DIR_DEB, DEPLOY_DIR_IPK,
DEPLOY_DIR_RPM, and DEPLOY_DIR_TAR.
* Updated the related classes: package_deb, package_ipk, package_rpm,
and package_tar.
* Updated the related tasks: do_package_write_deb, do_package_write_ipk,
do_package_write_rpm, and do_package_write_tar.

In the introduction, the ref-manual references several other YP
manuals. If the manual is build separately, these references resolve
to the appropriate manuals. When the mega-manual is built, the
same references are designed to not become links. In otherwords,
mega-manual.sed processes those links out. This is by design.
I found a #profile-manual tag on one of the links in the introduction.
This resulted in a link in the mega-manual that would go nowhere. I
removed the tag.
