sdk-manual: Updates to Eclipse Workflow section

Browse Source 
Updated the "Workflow Using Eclipse" section head to not match so
closely the "Working With Eclipse" section heading.  TOC appeared
funny.

Also, updated the step 1 to be more accurate regarding the real
need of having a YP build host and where to go to get information
on setting it up.

(From yocto-docs rev: 1cbca098a2f793bd86b6f73d3d35ce79bdf639f0)
