[yocto] clarifying terminology: "tasks" and "images"

[Robert P. J. Day]

  a couple observations about ambiguous use of terminology.  in ch 3
of dev manual, "yocto project terms":

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#yocto-project-terms

i first assume that the "Tasks" definition should be rebranded as
"Package Groups", no?  and that "tasks" should perhaps be defined as
bitbake tasks such as fetch, unpack, etc, etc.

  also, the term "image" is used in a confusing way.  the definition
in that same list is confusing as the definition reads "the result
produced when BitBake processes a given collection of recipes and
related metadata", yet the link to the "Images" chapter in the ref
manual is to images such as core-image-base, core-image-minimal and so
on.  this is pretty much guaranteed to confuse readers.

  it would have made much more sense to call the output of the bitbake
build step "artifacts", which is in fact the term used in a number of
places in the development manual and which is the perfect word for
that.

  thoughts?
