[v2] doc: bitbake-user-manual: document npm and npmsw fetchers

From: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@bootlin.com>

This addresses bug [YOCTO #10098]

Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@bootlin.com>

---

* Changes in V2:

  - Fix typos in the names of explicit targets ("nmp" instead of "npm")
  - Simplify the reference to the "nmpsw" section:
    no need to use a complex reference when you can directly use
    a target ("`target`_" as defined in ".. _target:")

Hi Michael,
