restore documentation for lazy_build and underscore (_) prefixed operators

It was removed from Moose::Manual::Attributes reasonably because it's
discouraged. It needs to be documented somewhere, as confound says in the
reference not the guide.

Also updated the link in Recipe 8 to point to the reference.
