wic: Update 'Background and Motivation' help section

     oe-core: directdisk.bbclass and mkefidisk.sh.  The difference
     between wic and those examples is that with wic the functionality
     of those scripts is implemented by a general-purpose partitioning

-    code borrowed from Tizen mic, which in turn was borrowed from
-    Meego mic, in turn borrowed from Fedora livecd, etc.).
+    'language' based on Redhat kickstart syntax).
 
     The initial motivation and design considerations that lead to the
     current tool are described exhaustively in Yocto Bug #3847
     (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3847).
 
-    Though the current wic tool only uses the kickstart syntax related
-    to partitioning and bootloaders and only for creating images,

-    feeds) and deployment configuration of users/network/services,

     wic can be used in two different modes, depending on how much
