dev-manual, ref-manual: Eliminated pre-built section

Fixes [YOCTO #11630]

I took the section that described how to use a pre-built kernel
and run it through QEMU out.  This is basically a QEMU usage
section and is not in that area.  There were some QEMU speed
up items suitable for the QEMU concepts section in the ref-manual.
I put those in that area.

-        Using QEMU to emulate your hardware can result in speed issues
-        depending on the target and host architecture mix.
-        For example, using the <filename>qemux86</filename> image in the emulator
-        on an Intel-based 32-bit (x86) host machine is fast because the target and
-        host architectures match.
-        On the other hand, using the <filename>qemuarm</filename> image on the same Intel-based
