[yocto] contradictory explanations of IMAGE_INSTALL in yocto manuals

[Robert P. J. Day]

  (i posted something regarding this on the oe-core list, but i wanted
to post here as well with specific examples from the yocto manuals.)

  from the yocto dev manual, section 4.3.1:

"The other method for creating a custom image is to modify an existing
image. For example, if a developer wants to add strace into the
core-image-sato image, they can use the following recipe:

     require core-image-sato.bb

     IMAGE_INSTALL += "strace"

  however, here's the discussion of IMAGE_INSTALL in the poky ref
manual in the variables glossary:

"Using IMAGE_INSTALL with the += operator from the /conf/local.conf
file or from within an image recipe is not recommended as it can cause
ordering issues."

... and that explanation goes on to recommend using
IMAGE_INSTALL_append instead.  that inconsistency should be cleared
up.
