7ec60228eb vulnerabilities: update nvdcve file name
The filename is outdated as its version was already bumped and there are
also different files for different feed choices.
Use glob to match any available file.

Also the directory changed to CVE_CHECK2 meanwhile, so Update it, too.

b13e4549a0 dev-manual/start.rst: remove basic setup for hash equivalence
Quoting Alexander Kanavin [1]:

> 1. BB_HASHSERVE and BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER do not set up or start a
> server, they set up the hash equivalence client built into bitbake.
>
> 2. The above client configuration (used by poky) also starts a private
> server that is specific to a particular build directory. So hash equiv
> information would not be shared between multiple build directories,
> and this will cause sstate mismatches (as reported in the bug), if
> sstate is shared.

This setup does not shed light on the potential of the hash equivalence
feature. So for now, remove this basic setup, and later rework the
concepts (or create a new) document that explains how to set up a hash
equivalence server shared between builds.

e27ee8c268 sphinx-lint: unbalanced inline literal markup
Fix as many instances of unbalanced-inline-literals-delimiters as reported
by 'make sphinx-lint' as possible. Sphinx and/or its linter seem to get
tripped up randomly when references contain links to a heading which
contain literals enclosed in double-back-tics; especially in the cases
where a heading either contains multiple literals or when the literal is
not at the end of the heading. Not all of them can be "fixed" to pass both
building and linting.

- Common use case: baremetal build.

  This section applies the guidelines from the first sections and apply
  it to a real-life example of how to use multiconfig. This one to build
  some baremetal firmware alongside a regular Linux build.

devtool is not directly tied to the Extensible SDK anymore, and

- Intro added to the devtool.rst document (mostly copy-pasted from the
  devtool quick reference in the ref-manual).
- Figures renamed to remove "sdk-" from filenames.
- References to sdk-manual/extensible replaced by dev-manual/devtool.

Adding a initramfs is a common task, and the way oe-core offers to do so
is by using the initramfs-framework recipe and companion modules. There
was already documentation on adding an initramfs but the documentation
was lacking details on this framework. Add it before the multiconfig
section because it is a bit more important IMO.

abef9b08dc Remove debug-tweaks references
We no longer provide this feature, so remove documentation for it. In
most cases, we can replace occurrences of "debug-tweaks" by
"allow-empty-password empty-root-password allow-root-login
post-install-logging" to achieve what this feature previously enabled.

Subtle, but the default local.conf does not include
post-install-logging, so in parts where there is mention of the default
local.conf file, adjust the documentation to only mention the first
three above.

In the intro manual, instead of providing instructions that replace
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES entirely, provide ones that append
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES.

c9565b89d0 Update the documentation for SRCPV
The variable SRCPV is deprecated since 4.3. Instead of including SRCPV
in PV, including the sign "+" is enough for bitbake to add the source
control information to PKGV during the packaging phase.

Update the documentation for SRCPV and the places where it was used.
When instructions previously referred to SRCPV, replace by mentioning to
include "+" in the assignment.

In most examples, "+git" is added to PV as it is the most popular SCM.
Simply adding "+" is also possible, although it is better practice to
include the SCM name, so give that example.

Update the gcompat example with l3afpad as it didn't include "+git" in
its PV definition anymore.

adc323dd4d dev-manual: document how to provide confs from layer.conf
Add a section on providing global level configuration from the
layer.conf file. Since this file is parsed at an earlier stage in the
parsing process, it's not possible to combine bb.utils.contains and
{DISTRO,MACHINE}_FEATURES to conditionally set some configurations.

This patch documents:

- First that this file can be used for providing such configuration.
- Then demonstrate how to conditionally provide them, using a technique
  that is currently used in meta-virtualization
  (https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-virtualization/tree/conf/layer.conf#n50).

Fixes [YOCTO #12688].

5d737bf584 dev-manual: Add info on build env initialization
Going through the docs we a new trainee, we noticed that the build
initialization is only mentioned in the quick build
(https://docs.yoctoproject.org/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index.html) but not
in the in-depth getting started documentation.

While this is repeatedly mentioned later on, e.g. in the "building" section,
you might easily end up somewhere where this has not been mentioned yet.

E.g. in our case this was:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/layers.html# (which comes right
after the "setup" chapter)
->
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/layers.html#creating-a-general-layer-using-the-bitbake-layers-script
(which is linked right at the top)

To avoid any confusion I think it best to mention this required step
directly in the "start" document.

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.
