Fixes [YOCTO #5442]
Updated the TMPDIR variable to call out the scenario where a user
might want to separtely set TMPDIR to a local drive and thus be
able to have the Build Directory on NFS.
Updated the "Build Directory" term with a note indicating that by
default, TMPDIR is inside the Build Directory and thus cannot be
on NFS. However, the user is able to by-pass that per setting
TMPDIR separately outside of the Build Directory.

In the ref-manual, I added "Eclipse" use in the title for the
"Graphics Support" packages because the "xterm" package is required
for graphics support across all distributions.
In the dev-manual, I specifically called out the need for "xterm"
as a host package at the top of the section describing workflow
with Eclipse. I also updated the cross-reference links to the
host package and Linux distro requirements to point into the
ref-manual, which is more comprehensive, than into the QS.

The changes in the FAQ and in the QS are basically notes that point

In the adt-manual in the "Optionally Building a Toolchain Installer"
setion, I added some basic advantage information for building a
toolchain installer using bitbake image -c populate_sdk.
In the ref-manual, I added cross-referencing to this basic information
in several strategic areas: "SDK Generation", the populate_sdk class
reference section, the populate_sdk_* class reference section, and the
"Cross-Development Toolchain Generation" sections.
Finally, I also put in documentation for a new class called
autotools-brokensep.

kept in the $TMPDIR/buildhistory directory in the Build Directory
as defined by the BUILDHISTORY_DIR variable. Well, the variable
claims it is kept in $TOPDIR/buildhistory. I went with the
variable as the correct source. So, I changed the intro
sentence here.
