current dev manual possibly links to out-of-date wiki page(s)

[Robert P. J. Day]

  section 4.1.1, dev manual:

"Finally, there is a wiki page write up of the example also located
here that you might find helpful."
^^^^

  that link takes one here:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Transcript:_creating_one_generic_Atom_BSP_from_another

and while it's not fatal to link to older wiki material, it does read
as odd to link to a wiki page that, in its very opening, admits that
its content might not be current.

  in addition, *that* wiki page quickly links here:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_BSP_Tools_Documentation

which again admits that its content is to be obsoleted by the official
BSP Guide.

  in any event, i'll leave it to someone else to decide on the
efficacy of having official docs link to potentially transient wiki
pages.

[Rifenbark, Scott M]

I updated the wording in the manual to indicate that the target wiki pages have helpful but possibly dated information.
