[yocto] [yocto-docs][PATCH 09/11] documentation/poky-ref-manual: update FAQ on stability

* Explain that we test with a set of reference hardware rather than only
  supporting hardware that we have (avoiding any implication that the
  build system can't support other devices).
* Adjust the language so that it is OE-Core friendly, with a link to
  the Development Manual for the definition of OE-Core.
