Fixes YOCTO #3540
First pass at altering this section based on changed methods
and Jessica Zhang's instructions. Rather than fully removing a
couple of sections that have quite a bit of information, I
decided to comment them out for now. Once the material is
reviewed I can remove the sections for good.

Created a new section called "Working With Libraries". This
section is a parent section for all the stuff about libraries.
Previously, there were two other sections dealing with libraries:
one was mulitlib section and one was about loading static
libraries. It makes sense to have a parent section now that
gathers the three sub-sections together. I have reorganized the
chapter structure to accomplish this.
Also, I placed some IRC chat notes temporarily into the new
section that will discuss how to load multiple versions of the
same library in parallel on the system.

Two things fixed:
1. A couple examples for setting up a layer.conf file were
using the meta-yocto configuration file as an example.
Turns out this is a bad example because the BBPATH variable
is appended to the LAYERDIR when setting BBPATH rather
than the other way around. That is because meta-yocto
is a distro layer. BSP layers, however, are not distro
layers and are the norm here. So I switched up the way
BBPATH was set and actually called out meta-yocto-bsp
config file as a template.
2. Added a link for the BBPATH variable in the
FILESYSTEM_PERMS_TABLES variable description in the
glossary. Just happened to notice this so I fixed it

Several places throughout the YP manual set examples are given
for the bblayer.conf file. For release 1.3, a bug existed that

layer from this configuration file. The bug has been fixed and

several manuals.
Fixes include updating the code samples that show bblayer.conf
so that they now include the BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE variable,
a new glossary entry for the variable, and an explanation of
both BBLAYER and BBLAYER_NON_REMOVABLE in the section that
talks about the bblayer.conf file.

Feedback from Paul Eggleton suggested to not use the linked
term "Source Directory" in the last paragraph of this section.
Reasoning being that it is mis-leading in this case. People
reading this will be thinking more along the lines of traditional
source code rather than our establishe "Source Directory" term,
which in the doc set refers to either the unpacked poky tarball
or the cloned poky Git repository.
