documentation: poky-ref-manual, dev-manual - added link to oe-core 

* Explain that we test with a set of reference hardware rather than only
  supporting hardware that we have (avoiding any implication that the
  build system can't support other devices). These are in the
  faq entry in the poky-ref-manual for the question of how we can
  claim Poky / OpenEmbedded-Core is stable.

* Adjust the language so that it is OE-Core friendly, with a link to
  the Development Manual for the definition of OE-Core.

There are three areas that help with stability;
