bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Updated dependency section for tasks
Fixes [YOCTO #9861]
I updated the section on dependencies to give a couple of examples
for task dependencies within a single recipe and dependencies for
tasks between two individual recipes.

+ To allow for efficient parallel processing, BitBake handles
+ dependencies at the task level.
+ Dependencies can exist both between tasks within a single recipe
+ and between tasks in different recipes.
+ Following are examples of each:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>For tasks within a single recipe, a
+ recipe's <filename>do_configure</filename>
+ task might need to complete before its
+ <filename>do_compile</filename> task can run.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>For tasks in different recipes, one
+ recipe's <filename>do_configure</filename>
+ task might require another recipe's
+ <filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename>
+ task to finish first such that the libraries and headers
+ provided by the other recipe are available.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This section describes several ways to declare dependencies.
+ Remember, even though dependencies are declared in different ways, they
+ are all simply dependencies between tasks.
