ref-manual: Updates to insane.bbclass and two new variables added.

* Updated the insane.bbclass section to move the note at the
  end about using ERROR_QA and WARN_QA to control how the
  checks are reported to the front of the section.

* Added new variable entries for WARN_QA and ERROR_QA.

(From yocto-docs rev: 6f220d1ba3d44a1bba2f1ac882cdf6b601ddc5bb)
