There was inconsistent use of the way directory names were
handled throughout the YP documentation. I have scrubbed the

meta/<something> replaces /meta/<something>
poky replaces ~/poky (except in some very specific examples)
I basically got rid of leading slash characters.

I have modified the "Yocto Project source Repositories" section to
de-emphasize the tarball installation method for poky and meta-intel.
We cannot remove these obviously because the download page of the
website gives the use access to tarballs. Also, the Index of
Releases basically does the same thing. So, we can't ignore the
fact that they are there. So, I added a note basically saying we
recommend the Git method for creation of poky and meta-intel on the
