documentation: poky-ref-manual - added note about PATH

Browse Source 
Added a note explaining why "PATH" is needed when using
SSTATE_MIRRORS if the shared state directory structure on
the mirror is the same as SSTATE_DIR.

Behind the scenes, the shared state code works by looking in
<filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename> and
<filename>SSTATE_MIRRORS</filename> for shared state files.
<link linkend='var-SSTATE_DIR'><filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename></link> and
<link linkend='var-SSTATE_MIRRORS'><filename>SSTATE_MIRRORS</filename></link>
for shared state files.
Here is an example:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
SSTATE_MIRRORS ?= "\
file://.* http://someserver.tld/share/sstate/ \n \
file://.* file:///some/local/dir/sstate/"
file://.* http://someserver.tld/share/sstate/PATH \n \
file://.* file:///some/local/dir/sstate/PATH"
</literallayout>
<note>
The shared state directory (<filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename>) is
organized into two-character subdirectories, where the subdirectory
names are based on the first two characters of the hash.
If the shared state directory structure for a mirror has the
same structure as <filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename>, you must
specify "PATH" as part of the URI to enable the build system
to map to the appropriate subdirectory.
