ref-manual: Added section on linux kernel image names using PE

Fixes [YOCTO #5089]

In the "Migration" section for going from 1.3 to 1.4, I have
added a new section to describe how the value of PE is now in
the generated Linux kernel image filename.

(From yocto-docs rev: 8ff3d263d2374ab3745e5264c3747e36674e7484)

The naming scheme for kernel output binaries has been changed to
now include
<link linkend='var-PE'><filename>PE</filename></link> as part of the
filename:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME ?= "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}-${PE}-${PV}-${PR}-${MACHINE}-${DATETIME}"
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
Because the <filename>PE</filename> variable is not set by default,
these binary files could result with names that include two dash
characters.
Here is an example:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
bzImage--3.10.9+git0+cd502a8814_7144bcc4b8-r0-qemux86-64-20130830085431.bin
