[gnome-continuous-yocto/gnomeostree-3.28-rocko: 2645/8267] sdk-manual: Updated SDK workflow



commit aba386b92cb1bd926a69f703587b133363374dee

    sdk-manual: Updated SDK workflow
    
    A new command devtool finish has superceded the final commands
    in the SDK workflow.  I updated the two figures (add and modify)
    to reflect this new flow.  I also updated the ordered number list
    to match reality.
