[yocto] [yocto-docs] [PATCH 1/5] poky-ref-manual: update mailing list info in ref manual

We need to include the OpenEmbedded and BitBake mailing lists here as
they are an integral part of the community especially for patch
submission.

Note that this supersedes the information about mailing lists in the dev
manual (which should be replaced with a link to this section).
