The section on wrting a new recipe suggested using a "build-fail"
method to get bitbake to return exact checksums for code. It
was pointed out that this could be a middle-security risk and
that we should not do that but instead get the signatures from
the upstream website. However, many times those sites don't
provide that information. I re-worded the text to note the
ideal method (upstream checksums) and then resorted to the
"build-fail" method as a "way" to also get them when the upstream
location does not have them.

For the yocto-project-qs, I removed the mirror information in the
"Super User" section, which became redundant with the new section
now in the dev-manual. I also, removed the fetchall variation of
the bitbake command. Both areas reference into the new section of
the dev-manual now.

I created a new section in the dev-manual titles
"Creating a Custom Template Configuration Directory" that describes
how the build system uses the template local.conf and bblayers.conf
and conf-notes.txt files as a basis when creating the real
deals in the build directory's conf folder. The context of this
is so that the user can create their own directory with their own
template files for repeated configurations and to create a custom
conf-notes.txt file should they want the setup scripts to display
some custom list of targets.
I also modified the two script references in the ref-manual for
oe-init-build-env and oe-init-build-env-memres. I needed to
link to the "how-to" section and added a bit in there about how
the scripts go about forming the conf files in the build directory.
