[yocto] should yocto ref manual variable glossary include bitbake variables?

These two glossaries are not replicates of each other by design.  You might notice also that some definitions for the same variable differ as well.  The intent is to have the variables in ref-manual be specific (if possible) for YP and the ones in bitbake-user-manual to be specific for that context.
