dev-manual: Moved the "Simple Build" section

I had a section on building an image up in chapter that talks about
getting set up to use YP.  I moved the build section to a new parent
section that will hold topics on building various things.  I renamed
the section to "Building a Simple Image".  I had to fix several links
in the sdk-manual, overview-manual, and dev-manual.

+                In the development environment, you need to build an image
+                whenever you change hardware support, add or change system
+                libraries, or add or change services that have dependencies.
+                Several methods exist that allow you to build an image within
+                the Yocto Project.
+                This section presents the basic steps you need to build a
+                simple image using BitBake from a build host running Linux.

-                The <replaceable>target</replaceable> is the name of the

-                Common targets are the images in
-                <filename>meta/recipes-core/images</filename>,
-                <filename>meta/recipes-sato/images</filename>, etc. all found

-                Or, the target can be the name of a recipe for a specific
-                piece of software such as BusyBox.
-                For more details about the images the OpenEmbedded build
-                system supports, see the
